How do you monitor your VPS ?
-
What do you people use to monitor your VPS CPU/MEM usage and different parts of the system logs to make sure VPS is running smoothly ?
This is a docker-ctop view running inside Byobu session where I have terminal tabs open with Nginx error/access log, iptables log, ampache log, box log
ps: by the way anyone else running ctop and cloudron ?
for some reason I can't see the logs from each container using ctop and I was wondering about the cause of this, is it related to the cloudron-docker environement ?about ctop : https://www.tecmint.com/ctop-monitor-docker-containers/
-
@rmdes for all my VPS’s I use Zabbix to monitor. However still not able to monitor inside containers.
-
@imc67 the point of Ctop is precisely that, once it runs, left arrow to inspect a container log (in the context of cloudron that does not work, while it does work on my local computer just fine in a typical docker environnement) right arrow let's you see MEM/CPU usage from that specific container (that work even on cloudron context) hit Enter and you're back to the main screen view with all the containers, it's really neat little application I just wish the log view would work in the cloudron context
-
after installing ctop via apt, I don't see what you show or the article.. older version?
-
@robi Yes that's not docker-ctop, you need to add this repo : https://packages.azlux.fr/
and then you'll have the same -
I have 50 people that @mention me in Discord when something's not working, not found a better monitoring solution than users being able to @mention admins 24/7

@marcusquinn The best downtime notification is users

@atrilahiji anger driven IT services

@girish I mean, users don't typically crash for about 69 years on average so thats already better than any monitoring app. Unless theres an unexpected hardware failure due to poor maintenance of course.

@marcusquinn not exactly proactive..
for that you may want to try my friends at https://www.zebrium.com

@robi Thanks, will take a look. We have so many monitors and alerts it boggles the mind, hence we packaged Prometheus & AlertManager for Cloudron and have more dev-ops stuff coming your way

At least they are a certified to be cool
I wish I was certified cool...

Are you kidding me? They crash every single day! At roughly the same hour each night, usually. The up-time is ridiculous
-
@mehdi oh that’s scheduled maintenance.
-
@mehdi @atrilahiji haha, my monitors need monitors! Monitor Not Responding is a common error.
-
@marcusquinn ah but who monitors the monitor monitors?
-
@atrilahiji That'd be the tax monitors, they soon
format c:your bank account if you stop pinging their servers
