Caches)

load, swap)

• check_mysqld for nice mysql graph stats and db net traffic
15. Access
• http://<yourserver>/nagios - classic web interface for
Nagios
• http://<yourserver>/icinga - classic web interface for Icinga
• http://<yourserver>/icinga-web - new web interface
• http://<yourserver>/pnp4nagios - graphs (and mobile
access)
20. Troubleshooting
• Ports and firewall (open only to your monitoring server!):
### RMI service ports ###
alfresco.rmi.services.port=50500
avm.rmi.service.port=50501
avmsync.rmi.service.port=50502
attribute.rmi.service.port=50503
authentication.rmi.service.port=50504
repo.rmi.service.port=50505
action.rmi.service.port=50506
deployment.rmi.service.port=50507
• Credentials
•Change alfresco-jmxrmi.access and alfresco-jmxrmi.password (out
of class path)
•Read only for checks!!
•Test with jconsole
22. I would like to share my monitor server for
testing purposes
• Not for production just test, gathering stats and add
commands to the plugin
• No alerts mails or sms.
• Drop me an email: toni@blyx.com
• IP address
• JMX port
• JMX read only user and password
• I will give you web access to see your server stats
• Remember, personal project! Not SLA to apply :P
• Up to 20 servers total
