    Yesterday I posted an article on how to monitor Apache and PostgreSQL with Monit. After setting that up I was amazed how simple and flexible Monit was, so I moved on with two more tasks: monitor Nginx and disk usage.

    Setting up Monit to monitor Apache and PostgreSQL on Ubuntu

    Monit is a great little utility that monitors your daemons. If a daemon fails, Monit will start the daemon it will automatically restart the process. It comes in very handy if for web-servers, such as Apache.

    For Red iGone we use Apache as the web-server, and PostgreSQL as the database. I wanted to configure Monit to keep an eye on these processes. As it turns out, setting up Monit was really straight-forward.

    I tried this on Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04. If you try this on a different Ubuntu version (or other distribution), it is likely that you will need to make changes to apache.conf and postgresql.conf.
