Description of Service Local Check

Description

With the help of local checks you are able to execute any given command or script essential to you on your server and integrate it with ServerGuard24's monitoring. There is no individual configuration for the monitoring.
Whether you require load, logged in users, number of processes or specific content of log files as monitoring parameters, it's all possible with the local checks.
To do so, it is necessary to install a daemon

which communicates with ServerGuard24. We will be more than happy to assist you with the initial installation.

Important: ServerGuard24 does not obtain access to your server. You alone define and configure commands to be executed.

Further examples of local checks:

fixed disk utilization
memory occupancy
swap utilization
number of zombie processes
...

Form Field

Port	Daemon's port at your server. (default value: 5666)

Command	Name of local command. The link between the daemon run locally from your server and ServerGuard24's system takes place over the command name. You define the command name and the corresponding call on the local command line including all parameters and limit values. Enter this command name in the form and ServerGuard24 will attempt to call up the call linked with this command and evaluate the results.

Timeout [sec]	Time in seconds before a connection attempt times out. If a timeout occurs, the status of the services is changed to Critical.

Identifier	Identifier that should be characteristic for the service. This identifier makes assigning services easier if you are using several services of the same type on one server. It is specified in the report and the notification.

Availability Report

OK	Server responding, successful connection to daemon port, reply from daemon

Critical	Server not responding, no connection to daemon port within 30 seconds, no reply from daemon

Service Integration

You receive a daemon from us, which you must install locally. In addition, configuration data exists on your server, in which you define command line calls and command names available. On ServerGuard24's web interface you then configure the service and enter the corresponding command name for your configuration data in the form and "command". The local check is thereby configured and the connection is made to your server. Please contact us if you would like to apply local checks. We will be happy to assist you in the set up and can also offer you completed plugins.
