Monitoring websites

[CAWJames]

Morning all,

 

We have found ourselves running a shed load of websites these days, mix of NGINX, Apache and IIS.

 

I want to set up some kind of monitoring on a geographically different server to keep an eye on these, ie things like uptime, downtime, simple resource monitoring.

 

Can anyone recommend a simple way of doing this, either by distro or piece of software.

 

Thanks

 

James

Nagios

I looked at Nagios ages ago, but isn't it monstrously complicated? Or has it changed now?

Look at PRTG. I think Nagios cost these days but with PRTG you get about 100 sensors free.

 

PRTG is web accessible and installs on top of Windows but don't let that put you off :-)

Nagios is still free - http://www.nagios.org.
