How do I setup basic server monitoring?
It appears that Opserver is capable of monitoring CPU, mem, diskspace, performance counters, etc on servers. How is this enabled?
Out of the box it depends on having a SolarWinds Orion database and uses the OrionDataProvider class. The intent is for contributors to create data providers for other sources of data. That hasn't happened yet.
I was also trying to set this up and could not see how to do it! Now I know why, maybe should mention something in the read me on this.
We are working on an internal monitoring solution that replaces Orion completely. It's progressing nicely and, once it has a bit of polish, will be open source as well. I'd say we're still a few months away from public release there, but it is coming.
Because I've been watching this thread like a lot of other people eagerly looking forward to an update:
Announcing Bosun, our new open source monitoring & alerting system
http://bosun.org/
We are working on adding Bosun host-view APIs and bringing support for it into Opserver over the past few days. It's not far off :) Expect some updates here in the coming days.
Any news on this? I've just got a test Bosun up and running and I'm itching to get it to work with Opserver. :)
@M-Paulsen If you pull the overhaul branch of Opserver, the Bosun integration is quite good now - expect this to land in master in the coming weeks as I polish things off. Note: basic support for Bosun is in the main branch...but it's much improved in the current version of Bosun (we added APIs) and overhaul.
is simple WEB monitoring out of scope? I have 20 web apps spread over 4 servers, is there any way to have them monitored e.g. for response time and uptime? What about POST/SOAP/REST calls? Should I write my own provider e.g. for web service unit tests?
