[gentoo-user] Webserer monitoring tools

[Colin Copley]

Hi List:

I have just purchased a refurbished PC - PIII, 450, 128mb ram, Network 
card, 10GB.
Also just purchased Broadband connection (2mb's, upsteam 288kbps)

I want to use the machine as a webserver over the broadband. and host my 
own site (which currently runs on a free ISP) As it's a low spec machine 
and I don't want the website to run totally crap, I'm thinking to use 
Gentoo's flexibility and speed to install it as a totally dedicated 
webserver(Apache,PHP,PERL).  As long as it can take about 6-8 users on 
at a time without struggling this will be fine.

Does anyone have any advice about monitoring software/apache modules 
that I can use to check how many connections, connection speed, 
resources (CPU) so I can monitor how the webservers doing, if it's 
getting overloaded etc.
Hope this is an appropriate forum (I've just subscribed so not sure), if 
not any suggestions.

Many Thanks
Colin

jffnms is an excellent monitoring package for all sorts of server resouces,
routers and other snmp based devices. It's masked (in testing), so you \have to
add this line to your '/etc/portage/package.keywords' file

net-analyzer/jffnms             ~x86

It a bit challenging to get set up and happy, but definately the
best monitoring package I've seen.

YMMV,
James
