Server monitoring

[surreality]

I noticed in the knowledgebase that BODhost also provides server monitoring systems. Is this an internal system that is installed in the server? Or is this also with a 3rd party server monitoring service like Hyperspin or HostTracker? If it's all internal, are you able to tell us the name of the software?

Thanks!

I don't think it's an internal system. Bodhost installs monitoring script on their VPS node. If any problem occurs this script send an automated email directly to a system administrator.

BODHost Server Monitoring System is developed by our developers and meet all the requirements of a monitoring system.

Hello
Wouldn't it be nice if servers came with "Failure Schedules". That way you could circle the dates on your calender and plan ahead for catastrophes. Unfortunately, the only thing that we can predict with any accuracy is that the server will fail and, when it does, it will be at the worst possible moment.
Where will you be when the server finally does go down? On vacation, or a day off, or sound asleep in bed? And how will you find out that your server went AWOL?

It's a shame that more of us don't do something to mitigate a disaster that we all know is going to occur until after we have a problem. Why risk unnecessary down time when you can be instantly notified whenever a server problem occurs? In fact, depending upon the problem, you could even get advance warning that a crisis is brewing.

Imagine how your life will change when you have a 24/7 watchdog running as many as 45 different hardware and software checks. Imagine how fast your response time can be when this watchdog becomes a bloodhound and tracks you down via voice phone .
