[Ubuntu-ma] Monitoring linux

[ISLAM Abou El Ata]

Salam,

It depends pretty much on what you're most interested in, here's a simple
rule of thumb:

- most Interested in monitoring performance >> run "top" or "htop" over SSH.
- most interested in monitoring security >> run Snort with e-mail alerts.
- most interested in monitoring traffic >> run javascript based stats and
traffic analysis (such as Google Analytics).
- most interested in having a global view of your server set and having a
dashboard>> see GLPI, Mandriva Pulse, and Zabbix.
- most interested in networking >> see Nagios.
- most interested in something not in the list >> reply back with details.

I hope this helps.
