| Hans-G?nter@24915 | 1 Monitorix is a free, open source, lightweight system monitoring tool |
| Hans-G?nter@24915 | 2 designed to monitor as many services and system resources as possible. |
| Hans-G?nter@24915 | 3 It has been created to be used under production Linux/UNIX servers, |
| Hans-G?nter@24915 | 4 but due to its simplicity and small size can be used on embedded |
| Hans-G?nter@24915 | 5 devices as well. |
| Hans-G?nter@24915 | 6 |
| Hans-G?nter@24915 | 7 It consists mainly of two programs: a collector, called monitorix, |
| Hans-G?nter@24915 | 8 which is a Perl daemon that is started automatically like any other |
| Hans-G?nter@24915 | 9 system service, and a CGI script called monitorix.cgi. |
| Hans-G?nter@24915 | 10 Monitorix includes its own HTTP server built in (which is listening |
| Hans-G?nter@24915 | 11 by default on port 8080/TCP) to see the statistics graphs, so you |
| Hans-G?nter@24915 | 12 aren't forced to install a third-party web server to use it. |
| Hans-G?nter@24915 | 13 Just point your browser at http://localhost:8080/monitorix. |
| Hans-G?nter@24915 | 14 |
| Hans-G?nter@24915 | 15 All of its development was initially created for monitoring Red Hat, |
| Hans-G?nter@24915 | 16 Fedora and CentOS Linux systems, so this project was made keeping |
| Hans-G?nter@24915 | 17 in mind these type of distributions. |
| Hans-G?nter@24915 | 18 Today it runs on different GNU/Linux distributions and even in other |
| Hans-G?nter@24915 | 19 UNIX systems like FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD. |
| Hans-G?nter@24915 | 20 |
| Hans-G?nter@24915 | 21 It is currently in active development adding new features, new graphs |
| Hans-G?nter@24915 | 22 and correcting bugs in the attempt to offer a great tool for daily |
| Hans-G?nter@24915 | 23 systems administration of any professional server. |
| Hans-G?nter@24915 | 24 |
| Hans-G?nter@24915 | 25 Monitorix is an open source project and, just like any other open |
| Hans-G?nter@24915 | 26 source project, anyone can contribute with his own time and knowledge. |
