Apache Monitoring
I am trying to monitor a Linux RedHat server running Apache web services. All I want to do is have Heroix email a pager when the web services go down.
When I try monitor an application in Heroix and take all the defaults (port 80) I get the foolowing:
This collection is not registered. Error when registering a collection. Check Error Log for more details.
A general error occurred: The url is unavailable:Http access error 404.
What is happening?
Thank you,
Mike
Hi Mike,
If you are interested in just monitoring the service, I would suggest using a Transaction to monitor this process. Monitoring the Apache application will not tell you if the application is unavailable. To monitor the service you will want to go Manage Applications -> Monitor Application then select Transaction and then Unix Process. Enter the server, the name of the process, username, password. This will monitor the process and will create an event when the process dies. Then you can set up an action rule to get alerted when this event occurs. If you want to watch a particular web page in addition to the service you can use HttpURL or HttpConnect.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks,
Alison

Sorry Mike - we've been getting hit by spam, and one of the anti-spamming modules I just enabled didn't like something in the text of your post. Probably something completely benign like the words "monitor" or "thanks". Unfortunately, self-learning filters have to learn a lot before they're reasonably reliable, and I enabled it thinking it was further along the learning curve than it obviously was.
The spam filters have been returned to their previous settings - if you re-post, it should go through now.
Once again, sorry for the post deletion.
I am trying to setup 2 action items to monitor processes on a server that monitors all our other servers. The 2 processes are httpd and Nagios.
Here is how I have the Action configured:
Application= Transaction
Component= UnixProcess
Computer= netmon.drake.edu
Instance= httpd
Measured Object= httpd I have tried /user/sbin/httpd
Severity= All
Schedule= All
I have email configured to send an email to a pager. When I do a test it does send a message to the pager. However, when I stop the server service, nothing happens.
Please Help
Thank you,
Mike
