Thread: Monitor status
Hi I've tried to search the site, but no usable pages turned up. My question is about monitoring PostgreSQL and if it turns out to be "down" to notify a person to take action. I'm surprised that I couldn't find anything about it. Does anyone have an advice ? Anything that will fit into ordinary NMS. Maybe SNMP will not fit, but then some kind of "database ping", or equal. -- Kaare Rasmussen --Linux, spil,-- Tlf: 3816 2582 Kaki Data tshirts, merchandize Fax: 3816 2501 Howitzvej 75 Åben 14.00-18.00 Email: kar@webline.dk 2000 Frederiksberg Lørdag 11.00-17.00 Web: www.suse.dk

There is also a component of netsaint (www.netsaint.org) that will check PostgreSQL postmasters. I hope to add to that the ability to do specific queries, (right now, it only does a login, then disconnects). (I am the primary maintainer of the plugins that do the actual service checks, another developer originated the overall project and maintains the core software itself). Netsaint, like big brother, can check a bunch of other services as well. Nesaint has native support for notifications, and if you wish cxan also be set upt to automatically issue restarts and so on (I suspect Big Brother can do so also, but I do not know). Netsaint is Free Software released under GPL. __ Karl DeBisschop kdebisschop@alert.infoplease.com Learning Network Reference http://www.infoplease.com Netsaint Plugin Developer kdebisschop@users.sourceforge.net

I've also seen a lot of announcements of OpenNMS at freshmeat. All I know is that it's Java based, and as fas as I can tell will work without agents. Can any of these operate in a mixed Linux / Win2000 environment (I'd like to have one tool only for NMS. -- Kaare Rasmussen --Linux, spil,-- Tlf: 3816 2582 Kaki Data tshirts, merchandize Fax: 3816 2501 Howitzvej 75 �ben 14.00-18.00 Email: kar@webline.dk 2000 Frederiksberg L�rdag 11.00-17.00 Web: www.suse.dk
