Why monitoring?

- “know where the fire is”

Saturday, September 3, 11

What to monitor?

- Is my site up?- Is my site up to date?- Is something strange happening?- Lots of page not founds...- Page load is suddenly slow...- Suddenly lot’s of files uploaded...- user base trend...- etc.

Idea “Drupal Monitor”

our problem- 50+ sites- hosted on different servers

our solution- we use munin for server monitoring- “monitoring” on intranet extensions

new wishes- no graphs, not all metrics we like to have- new solution -> drupalmonitor.com

Saturday, September 3, 11

drupalmonitor.com - what we don’t want

- no server monitoring - load, traffic, memory, etc.- no google analytics copy

Saturday, September 3, 11

drupalmonitor.com - what we want

- 100% Drupal focus (application level)- simple solution

- easy to install- no additional server side software- just one additional module (no dependencies)

- no configuration- rrd graphs = data over time- not just a “ping check”
