how to monitor is a linux server is up or has been rebboted

Philippe Courtois

Hi,

We are having issue with our tools that monitor the servers/OS side  and we are trying to find a solution in foglight

We are looking at monitoring if a server is up/down or if I has been rebooted

If anybody has an idea how to do this

Thank you

    If you're monitoring this Linux server with a UnixAgentPlus agent, you should already be able use the "Host Monitored" rule.

    • This rule will fire an UNMONITORED Warning alarm if it can't collect metrics in a collection Interval.
    • It can fire an UNAVAILABLE Critical alarm if the UnixAgentPlus agent is unable to reach that host by Ping and fails to collect metrics in a collection interval, but the agent needs to have "Use ping to validate host availability" activated.

    I hope this helps.
