establish some alerts for the site #48

Open codersquid opened 10 years ago

Set up monitoring alerts so that the tech team receives notices when the site is experiencing difficulty.

I have collectd set up, and there are notification plugins we can add.

I also added the rackspace monitoring package, and we can set up some monitors with ping, server load, disk space, etc. using that tool.

There are other tools that people use for monitoring and alerts, but I am new to this technology and would like suggestions.

@codersquid I see this labeled ready? Can you add more details?

Hi @aterrel, I added a better description. @mrterry mentioned that we should set up some monitoring at one of our tech meetings, and I created this issue so it didn't slip our radar.

The rackspace web interrface has some dead simple monitors that you can set up, but I'd like some more advanced ones too.
