Can you tell me how deamon monitoring system works?
I am talking about non-standard demon like my antyvirus deamon, spam etc.
I asked for monitoring one of my important process and I wonder if ipalert only check if it is running or not or smothing more?

IPAlert is an incredibly customized version of the Nagios monitoring daemon. Through a program running on your system we can monitor which processes are running, your hardware state, your users connected, and much more. The IPAlert servers themselves can monitor for open ports and for the correct response from those ports.

Along this same line of discussion...

I went into Orbit and viewed IPAlert. First time I've been there!

1. Only two of my four servers were listed. Do I just add the other two?

2. When I click on PING as a hyperlink there is no data for the day/week month. Is this normal.

Thanks in advance.

Yup, by default from my experience nothing is added there until you opt to add your servers for monitoring and select what you need the system to monitor for you.

I believe it is because the servers can be used for different purposes, different people might want to monitor different things.

Thanks eddy.

Amazing - I just went in and looked at my hardware details vs what I was monitoring. Everything was selected for bronze - but I should have silver on my machines (the deals came with silver). So I've opened about 4 or 5 monitoring upgrade requests today. THen I am going to have to figure out what daemon this service uses.

In addition to all of this I am trying to get nagios running on my own server outside of theplanet.
