System Monitoring

For some Linux administrators, the Linux server monitoring activity may be a definite need, because with the monitoring server, an optimal server where it has been fulfilled or not the resources owned by a server to support the distribution process.

Many of them still use the old way to collect their Linux system data, let’s call it the method of using sosreport in a Linux machine. Where the resulting data will be a lot and there is a need for the selection of data to be used, not to mention the creation of graph reports, so it is a little inconvenient and requires a long time for users.

Sysstat has several monitoring functions, including:

  • sar = Collect and provide reports on the activities of the system that is running
  • iostat = reports CPU usage and also Input and Output statistics from our disk
  • mpstat = reports in full and statistics on our processors
  • pidstat = report data obtained from application/process usage
  • sadf = displays data obtained by sar in various formats

Here we will combine several existing resources to manage the sysstat analysis data with additional graphics accessible through web-based, so it is expected that sysstat data/reporting can run quickly and completely.
Install PHP and Apache

# yum install php httpd sysstat unzip wget

Download the sysstat Graph, place it on public_html

# cd /var/www/html
# wget http://techsoftcenter.googlecode.com/files/sysstatgraph-0.4.zip
# unzip sysstatgraph-0.4.zip

Edit config.php according to the following code:

# vi /var/www/html/config.php
# touch /var/www/html/data.json

define('SYSSTATDATAPATH','/var/log/sa');
define('JSONSTRUCTUREFILENAME','data.json');
define('NETWORKINTERFACELIST',serialize(array('eth0')));

Add a cronjob so that the sar generate analysis process can be done automatically

# crontab -e

Enter the following code:

# Run system activity accounting tool every 10 minutes
*/10 * * * * root /usr/lib/sa/sa1 1 1
# 0 * * * * root /usr/lib/sa/sa1 600 6 &
# Generate a daily summary of process accounting at 23:55
55 23 * * * root /usr/lib/sa/sa2 -A
