drupal pur www.netnode.ch We look for Drupal Devs! www.netnode.ch/jobs

Why monitoring?• Status “OK”• “Houston we have a problem”

Our problem/solution (yesterday)• Problem • 70+ sites • hosted on different servers • D5/D6/D7• Solution • Munin for server monitoring • no site monitoring • Very rough “monitoring” with intranet

New problems/wishes• Overall goal: Simpliﬁng maintenance & service quality• Status monitoring • Are all sites up? If not, send an alert! Logs to see what happend!• Updates hassle • Module and core updates overview (what sites need action) • Ideally the tool would recommend what to do• Performance data • How many request do we actually deliver? • How many logged in users do we server?• Automating checks • Basic conﬁgurations done right? E.g. Caching enabled, etc. • Cron runned?• Automated Collected/Updated data • How many D6/D7 sites? • Server/System data (phpinfo)

Existing solution? nope well, a couple!
