how many servers can you monitor with one account?
I'd definitely pay in that range as long as you don't IonCube it or anything silly along those lines.
Have you thought of something like Raymii's Ray-Mon where a cron job produces the info file that you can then fetch on the master server over HTTP? Seems like the best of both worlds; you don't have to SSH into the server but you also prevent the overhead of PHP on smaller servers.
I have around 110 servers (VMs) monitored for free so i guess its unlimited.
@ihatetonyy - Hadn't thought of that, seems like a decent idea... why not. I dislike ioncube quite a bit, far more than I need the money. I would like to prevent people from giving away my code for free though. Suing people over not paying for it seems rather stupid...
I could do some sort of license checking via IP (IE anyone can come and check if a site is using a valid license) and use the community to "name and shame" people. Don't particularly love that approach, but it seems to work well with legitimate/nonlegitimate cpanel/whmcs hosts.
@BlueVM Would gladly pay $7 - the LEB price
I'll take it! I'll pay $20 for a copy no problem.
would be nice, to execute that uptime.php on windows servers too.
i have 5 i would like to add to the same script.
Just installed Observerium, great stuff!
It works great and gives loads of information. For the pure checking of server I use StatusCake since yesterday, very happy with it.
Alright so I came to a bit of an interesting idea yesterday maybe something like this would work well:
A simple httpd based on bash which displays nothing more than a json with the current server statistics running on some unique (changeable) port.
Does anyone like this idea?
You mean like:
https://github.com/73696e65/bash-web-server
combined with:
https://raymii.org/s/software/Bash_PHP_Server_Status_Monitor.html
Cron job would be much more secure and you can still disable dangerous web php pool functions like exec
If you read the last link you'll see that the client part is just a bash script which outputs JSON, and the server part is a PHP script which combines all the data.
I think it's great idea. Just today I deployed this and had extra headache because trying to locate where to put uptime.php on cpanel DNSonly, and to mailserver had to install nginx and php5-fpm.
Keep up the good work.
