Domain Monitoring Tool

[l0rdphi1]

This tool is designed to monitor domains via the server-status Apache 1.xx feature. The tool can monitor both domain load and the number of processes per domain.

NOTE: This tool does not work with Apache 2. You may wish to check out mod_throttle (Apache 1) or mod_cband (http://mod-cband.com) (Apache 2) as replacements for this tool.

Once a domain reaches certain specified limits, you can opt to warn and suspend users.

Prior to running this script, please run 'table.sql' AND modify each file in the 'conf' directory to your preference. See the included INSTALL file for details.

Download v1.0 here (http://www.l0rdphi1.com/tools/domain.monitor.tar.gz).

Added to the DA server checklist (http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=65):D

[S2S-Robert]

Looking good!

I'm going to set this up and test it for a while.

I do have a suggestion though, perhaps you can add a client interface that enables you to view the loads. I know it's possible to take a look at them using phpmyadmin and going through the database yourself, but perhaps this will be a nice feature to display the stats.

regards

Robert

Isn't this kinda the same? You can limit the amount of requests / download speed it has. It won't let you monitor cpu usage that's true, but it will help you with a lot of apache overloading issues.

[ProWebUK]

Never realised it was request throttling also.... mod_throttle is basically limit your bandwidth by X xbps - would be useful to offer unmetered connections ;)

Never looked at it into to much detail or to be honest, used it although if your interested i'l get a copy on a test server and get playin with it :p

This way you could prevent a certain vhost from overloading apache, which is in essence the same thing we're trying to accomplish measuring cpu process time.

But please do start playing around with mod_throttle, who knows we might put it to good use ;)

[l0rdphi1]

Yeah, I'm going to play with it too :D ..although I don't see how it can monitor load

[ProWebUK]

I dont think it does, rather processes and bandwidth :)

Chris

[l0rdphi1]

Yes, that's what I meant. :)

[crawl]

Installed this today and it looks very cool. I was wondering if it can also email me to let me know a warning notice was sent, or if it's even possible to email me instead of the customer so I can contact them myself.

Thanks!

On a normal DA install on a Red Hat 9.0... What is the path to PHP?

[l0rdphi1]

[AtomicRax]

Ok, as far as I know, I set up the script right. I've checked all passwords and stuff. I run the script and it says "Table Updated" How ever, when I view the table, it doesn't show any records.

Any ideas?

[AtomicRax]

All my information, as far as I know, is correct and the script is not inserting the information into the db.

And what should $__url_source be? I put it as the url to monitor.php I tried it with just the folder, but it didn't work.

[l0rdphi1]

The source URL should be set to the location of your server-status monitor. See INSTALL.

Mine is set as:
$__url_source = 'http://server1.liquenox.net/serverstatus';

In my httpd.conf, I added:ExtendedStatus On

Give that a shot.

actually there is already "ExtendedStatus On", we just comment it out and add
<Location /serverstatus>
SetHandler server-status
</Location>

is it? and is there any live example to show?

[jmstacey]

I didn't work for me either.
It says table updated but nothing has happened.

I did some trouble shooting and have narrowed it down a bit. The script does not add new domains as it finds them to the database. Once I had manually input a couple of domains the monitoring worked but only for those domains that I had entered.

I haven't looked into a fix yet, hopefully l0rdphi1 will get to it before I do.

Then again it may just be my server, I've had these weird quirks before on this setup.

[l0rdphi1]

There is a bug. I'll uploaded a fixed copy of this tomorrow. :)

[jmstacey]

Great, I'm looking foward to it.

Also, what is likely to be the best way to set this up? Where is the best location to put it that it will work and not be a risk? Any possibility of making it so you don't have to have the monitor.php file open to the public to get information?

[l0rdphi1]

Updated the tarball.

Probably the best place to run this is in /home/admin/domain.monitor or something similar, however I currently have it running from /root/domin.monitor

Phi1.

[jmstacey]

It is working now. :D

[neorder]

Next chooce a MySQL database and execute the provided 'table.sql' file on it. Once the SQL executes, modify configure.php to reflect the database information you chose.

And while configure.php is up, fill in your new server-status URL. If you plan to suspend or warn users, you will need to fill in your administrative server control panel login details.

Lastly, run monitor.php via '/path/to/php /path/to/monitor.php' on the command line. If all goes well, you will want to set the command up as a cronjob. I suggest executing 'monitor.php' every 5 minutes, but you can do whatever you want.


do you mean i can view status at like http://serverip/statues.php?

and how to write a cron?

if i want to set up this cron under directadmin, how can i give command? thanks

[l0rdphi1]

[outpernet]

hi.

I have the similar problem. "Table updated." but it didnt write into the database. do you know how can i fix it?

[jmstacey]

I had this problem because apache was not setup properly.

Make sure you have the following in your httpd.conf

ExtendedStatus On
<Location /server-status>
SetHandler server-status
</Location>

[outpernet]

yes.. i have it ok.. are there any specific place inside httpd.conf to put it?

[l0rdphi1]

I don't think there is a specific spot. I have it stuck down at the bottom before the DA Alias's for squirrelmail, etc.

Phi1.

[jmstacey]

Anybody else had this problem.
I'm running Apache 1.3.31 with php 4.3.7
For some reason cpu usage calculations are not working, they remain at 0.01 or 0.00 even though viewing the monitor.php file from the web shows that users have considerable usage.

The number of processes appear to be working fine, just not cpu usage.

[jmstacey]

I fixed the problem. I had to comment out the the second average line where it divides by 2. After thats commented out it returns and shows the total cpu time as it should.
I'm also trying to get it to convert it to a cpu percentage usage instead of time, does anyone have some ideas how to get the necassary information to do the calculation with?

Also, if anybody else uses this, what are your suspend account settings.

[hkivan]

If i put and config all the file in /root/

after this i run ./monitor.php

IT show this error :
./monitor.php: line 1: ?php: No such file or directory

What's wrong of my work ?

[l0rdphi1]

hkivan,

I think you need to type php ./monitor.php

Phi1.

[wahaha]

I can not run a cron job ...

I have creat a file call " domainmon " in /etc/cron.d/

I have put a line in the file

*/4 * * * * root php /root/monitor.php





but it seems ... it can not work properly ..... :confused:

[l0rdphi1]

What about putting it in crontab -e?

Phi1.

[S2S-Robert]

This is more of a DA question than it is specifically for this script, but in which httpd.conf should I put it?

If I put it in /etc/httpd.conf then it will be overwritten right? So what if I added the /server-status/ to both /etc/httpd.conf and /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/httpd.conf ?

[resolveit]

You have to specify the full path to PHP otherwise it will not work in a cron job.

Hi all

i installed all and i'm getting this error

i dont want to messup the rights of directadmin
What rights should i use to fix this problem?

1) make sure you've got the latest copy.

2) does the code in line 70 resolve to a directory name? The error message says it doesn't.

Jeff

[jmstacey]

My guess is that you are not running the domain.php file as the root user as you are supposed to.

[RayManZ]

Just wondering. But what are the best config settings?

Or is there no need to change configure.php at all?

Example. How do i config it right that if a site get a load of 1+ it get suspended?

How does it work?

// 0 = disabled
$__cpu_warning = 0;
$__cpu_suspend = 0;

// 0 = disabled
$__proc_warning = 0;
$__proc_suspend = 0;


What are your settings at this?

Tnx :)

[XBL]

@ RayManZ: You set the 'zero' to the actual suspend limit (is kind of confusing, I had to read it from monitor.php).

@ Everyone: I made a small script to monitor the database. Current functions:

Order by:
Domain
CPU Usage
Processes
Descending and Ascending

Search by domain

Any ideas on what to add are very welcome (e-mail (jochem at vuilnisbak dot com) or PM).

Download: domainmonitor.php (http://vanleeuwen.at/domainmonitor/domainmonitor.phpd)
Test: domainmonitor/ (http://vanleeuwen.at/domainmonitor/).
Username: admin
Password: password

The stats are live from the database.

I also recommend to set the $__url_source (in conf/configure.php) to http://localhost/server-status (replace server-status with whatever you're using). And change

ExtendedStatus On
<Location /server-status>
SetHandler server-status
</Location>

To

ExtendedStatus On

My server goes down on this change in configure.php :confused:

[snaaps]

where most I place the next code:

ExtendedStatus On

SetHandler server-status
</Location>

IN: /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/User-Name-Of-The-Domain/httpd.conf
or /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/httpd.conf


Like this:

# Frontpage requires these parameters in every httpd.conf file or else
# it won't work.
Port 80
ServerRoot /etc/httpd

ExtendedStatus On
<Location /serverstatus>
SetHandler server-status
</Location>

<VirtualHost MyIP:80>


ServerName www.mydomain.nl
etc etc......



Has anyone a example for me!

OK, great service and a great tool!
A few days ago I have a atack on my server. After 4 hour we found the problem.
Whith this tool I will found the problem in 5 minutes!

I think it's a good idea to modify the INSTALL text, so that noobs also can install this script.

[Titam]

sniff i have this :


PHP Warning: main(./conf/configure.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/hollinae/domains/testhollinae.com/public_html/monitordom/monitor.php on line 13

In /home/hollinae/domains/testhollinae.com/public_htlml/monitordom/ i have all files and directory for this script :\

If someone can help me, thank you :)

[Titam]

Edit / Nevermind ... i worked with bad domains :rolleyes:

But I Would like to know when it's really dangerous ? By example, I have a user who has
Average CPU : 6.75
Average Process : 0.84

Is it a lot, or not ?

That's just something that happens on DA servers. I'm not sure why it does, but every da server I've examined mod_status on does it.

[nieuwhier]

HELP!!

This monitor sounds just right for me. Buttttttttt i can't get it to work.

What did I do:

I created a map in a domain from admin, in de private_html section.

I created the database and configured the configure.php. I cannot get a http address in there. Only the local address gave no errors.

I also added this to the /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/httpd.conf:
<Location /server-status>
SetHandler server-status
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from localhost
</Location>
Exactly like this. Should I perhaps give a location ?
I then restarted httpd service.

I then run monitor.php and ' table updated' apears. But nothing changes. Am i missing something ?

[nieuwhier]

ok... I found the answer myself.

$__url_source in configure.php had to point to http://localhost/server-status

And you can test on http://yourserver.xxx/server-status if it works. (add you're ip to allow in httpd.conf otherwise you won't see anything).

db is filled now. I am now figuring out what to do with the limits.

[wchost]

It wont allow me to open the directory...

localhost might not be properly configured on your server.

[Titam]

maybe lol, but i have no problem with localhost in my php/mysql script ^^

Ok have this working fine. Only question really is does this script require the actual "admin" user account pass or will it be fine if setup on it's own admin level account (which is what i had done).

Try the following to make the table.. or just add the status field to your existing table.

CREATE TABLE cpu_monitor (

Just pick any number I want or what? I wouldn't set the __proc values too low or the script will send out emails for trivial reasons. I don't know what reasonable numbers should be for the processes, best to look at the database and see what looks 'normal'.

The CPU though I am assuming that it's a 0-100% scale so a simple way to figure it would be to divide 100 by the number of sites hosted -- then probably add a little to that number for the suspended value.

There is also an 'ignore' portion in the monitor.php worth using maybe. It appears to be useful for opting-out your own main site.

The user which executes the script (probably 'apache') appears not to be allowed to read /usr/local/directadmin/data/users. You have to make sure apache can read the directory.

no kidding?
how without blocking DA access to thoose files

[jlasman]

Lots of ways; read a good book on linux administration.

The only reason I'm not explaining in detail is because I believe it to be a system security issue.

I want to know the configure.php file have this

server_type = 'DirectAdmin'

What's mean of server_type? Is it no need to change 'DirectAdmin'?

And I want to know what's go to be next after I use
./php monitor.php

I get this result

Warning: file_get_contents(): HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
in /home/admin/domains/domainname/public_html/server-status/monitor.php on line 23

Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.domainname/server-status): failed to open stream: Success in /home/admin/domains/domainanme/public_html/server-status/monitor.php on line 23

Is it right? I have no idea on it

[waterkei]

solved!

[BlueNoteWeb]

I don't want to keep this file available to just anybody, so I've added the code that was previously suggested to allow access only from localhost. Is it possible to add a password on the file so I can access it from elsewhere? I know I could allow from a specific IP address, but I don't have a static IP here and I'm often traveling to other places anyway. Can I do something like an .htaccess solution?

Hey guys,

I'm running this on my webserver now, however are there any scripts to email the admin rather than the users? I'd like to see how this will effect my users, i.e. when will they receive emails, how often, and what would cause the system to email the user (apache process using over half the CPU for x amount of minutes?)

Secondly the domainmonitor.php that someone made on this list is no longer available, was it a pretty output, does anyone have a copy of it for me?

I want to see what it does before I start suspending users or sending them emails about over utilization when I dont know what the thresholds are.

Cheers
Barry

Hello,

To change the email address notices are sent to you will need to edit the lib/directadmin.php file included in the archive. All of the PHP mail() functions will need changed to:mail("your@emai.com", ...
Instead of this tool you may also be interested in the Apache mod_throttle module. You can do similar stuff with that.

Ok, while I do really like this script there is one major flaw about how the suspend/unsuspend is handled.

When an admin suspends an account manually (for whatever reason non-payment, etc) this script will just unsuspend it automatically if the user is not at the resource limits. (eg no tracking is done on the script to see if it was actually suspended by the script or by an admin).

This would be something that I would see as being a majorly needed feature to this script, otherwise it makes it kind of unuseable.

Dear guys,

I have read it... I try to install but i faild.. (Fedora 3 server)

I have on my server http://ip/httpd-server (its works)
the http.conf is also edited.
But it dont works..

Can someone just write the installation for "noopies"

- Where must i upload the files?
- Can is use /var/www/html/<directory>

Could you chek this config file:

$__server_type = 'DirectAdmin';
$__server_addr = "IP;
$__server_user = ; <--RESELLER ACCOUNT?
$__server_pass = '; <--RESELLER PASSWORD??

$__url_source = 'http://IP/httpd-status';

$__sql_host = 'localhost';
$__sql_dbase = 'powerdomei_serv'; <Reseller DBASE
$__sql_user = 'powerdomei_serv';
$__sql_pass = '12345';

With these config file i get this error:

Descending and Ascending

Search by domain

Any ideas on what to add are very welcome (e-mail (jochem at vuilnisbak dot com) or PM).

Is there any way to solve unsuspend problem?

Any updates on this ? e.g. successfull working reports on Apache 2.x / 2.2.x ?

Thx for feedback!

[SeLLeRoNe]

i got 2 question:

thanks

1st, does this script actually work?
2nd, going through directadmin.php, I dont see how to change the php mail() functions
I have a particular server that seems to go into high load average (30+) on Sunday of each week, by the time I get there its almost impossible to sort where the troubles are, so I'm hoping that this will help sort the problems. I to want to be notified as to which domain is causing the troubles, any updates on a package that is more configurable?

Yeah, this doesn't work with Apache 2. If you're looking for something similar, I suggest checking out mod_cband (http://mod-cband.com/).

There is also an 'ignore' portion in the monitor.php worth using maybe. It appears to be useful for opting-out your own main site.
so the commented out portion in the monitor.php, would be where you put the ignored domain (s)?.
and for multiple domains would you ad them between the single quotes?
/*if ( $domain != 'l0rdphi1.com' )
{
continue;
}*/

Yes, you could do that there. To have it ignore a specific domain, you'd want to add:if ( $domain == 'dom2skip.tld' ) continue;

[Duboux]

For multiple domains, this would be the php-code, but I don't know if that language is suitable for this.

Anyway:
$IgnoredDomains = array('one.com', 'two.com', 'three.com');
if (in_array($domain, $IgnoredDomains)) continue;


Though, I'd think there should be a ! before in_array

want to add what I was advised as far as email notices, I know I dont like having a problem, finding a thread that describes what I am looking for and then a reply with "FIXED" or "Never Mind, I resolved it" so I am putting here the answer given to me by l0rdphi1...thx 10x
Regarding where email notices are sent, you can change that on line 118 of directadmin.php; change $result['email'] to the actual email address you wish to receive notices at.

[PauGasol]

Im seeing the output of server-status of Apache 1 and Apache 2 and seems to by very similar.. i think the script should be adapted easy l0rdphi1? are you the creator? Thanks
