monitoring system?

Question

Monitoring

Situation: there is a server with HTTP+MySQL services, there is a separate VPS for monitoring.
Task: deploy monitoring of HTTP+MySQL services, + server statistics on the VPS.
Maximum task: When one of the services (or the entire service) crashes, send an SMS to the administrator.
I tried Nagios, but the interface was not impressive.
I think to stir up statistics through MRTG/Cacti.

But what to do monitoring - that's the question. Who can suggest what? Thank you!

Answer 1

Zabbix

Answer 2

Munin again.

Answer 3

If you are not impressed with the Nagios interface, you can try NagVis or Centreon - yes, there are a lot of useful things, you just have to look.
But in general, when I got acquainted and chose between Nagios and Zabbix, the choice fell on the first one, because. a large number of all sorts of modules and handles to configure faster (I had a lot of similar objects to monitor).

Answer 4

On the server itself, it is better not to mount it. Because if it falls, then the monitoring will also fall. It’s better to take another VPS with a cheap tariff and start monitoring from there. Or use third-party monitoring services such as basicstate.

Answer 5

Nagios is more for monitoring multiple objects (to each his own).
I would do zabbix + MRTG with rendering via rrdtool.

Answer 6

Munin+Monit is an extremely lightweight yet very powerful solution.
I recommend to try.
There are several articles on the forum.

Answer 7

nagios + centreon

Answer 8

Zabbix, I was satisfied with it
