Looking for software to monitor scheduled emails and notify when they don't arrive or contain errors I have realized I need to invest in a real monitoring system like nagios or zabbix and then just write a plugin to test the status of the job. Email is easy, but once the monitoring infrastructure is in place, monitoring is pretty easy too. |

Best tool for monitoring backups, etc. and trending statstics from that data Thanks for the answer. I already have a framework that handles running backups (and other tasks), which collects statistics, so backupninja would be overkill. Nagios seems to be a consensus and then munin or cacti to trend. |

Best tool for monitoring backups, etc. and trending statstics from that data Just for clarification, I wouldn't be writing my own monitoring tool. The question is to get recommendation for monitoring/trending tools that will integrate with the backup/script-running framework I have built. |

Looking for software to monitor scheduled emails and notify when they don't arrive or contain errors In some instances, your advice is helpful. However, its common to have jobs that we want to make sure run on scheduled tasks and often the easiest way to know they have run is to send an email (backup jobs for instance). While some other kind of monitoring system could be implemented in many cases, the complexity of doing so is often not warranted. Sending an email is easy and if we had a system to monitor those emails, it would be a much less complicated than trying to monitor lots of different processes accross diverse platforms and applications. |
