Monitoring

As a web design and devleopment collective we need a tool that allows us to monitor web servers and individual sites. We are using Monit. It has a poweful configuration syntax for doing many kinds of tests on remote and local websites and sends alerts via email.

There are many interesting features that need to be explored like apache-status.

Main configuration file: /etc/monit/monitrc
