Last week, I found myself astonished not to see the CodeProject's logo on a bottle of gin.

All of those things are separate commands...it would be pretty easy to combine them all into a script which dumps its output to a file and emails it to you on a regular basis.

An even better solution: make it all dump to an HTML file on it's own web server which you can browse from your mobile to see how your server is doing...password protect the directory, of course...

I'm there right now, using CentOS. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of bloated, sissy-fied solutions that do everything and toast bread too. Not for my servers. I want lean and mean and performance. As stated, you can do all of this just using a shell script, a few commands, and sendmail. Shell scripts are easy enough to learn since it's the same exact thing as using the shell / prompt in interactive mode, except you save it to an executable text file and run it.

I'm on debian, and I as it looks now, I will probably go for the shell script idea.

SNMP is the name and http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/[^] Tobi oetiker's tool MRTG can probably help. He is Swiss btw.

Otherwise there are several useful SNMP libraries that you can use to build apps.

I have build a suite of tools for all kinds of monitoring, but they are company's property and cannot share them.

Np,

http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/doc/mrtg.en.html[^]

"
MRTG is not limited to monitoring traffic, though. It is possible to monitor any SNMP variable you choose. You can even use an external program to gather the data which should be monitored via MRTG. People are using MRTG, to monitor things such as System Load, Login Sessions, Modem availability and more
"

You just need to find the corresponding OID's for the data you want to collect. Per Example:
http://www.debianadmin.com/linux-snmp-oids-for-cpumemory-and-disk-statistics.html[^]

There are OID's for pretty much everything:

If you award contracts to the lowest bid you're going to get people who can't be arsed to check they're doing it right, and that means the occasional totally dumb error will be let slip.
