Monitoring Websites

[SCW]

Hi,

I'm new to this and have only just got the system running. I've had a play but can't seem to be able to find out how to do the following.

We have 5 windows servers running IIS and SQL server and on each server we have many virtual directory / websites setup, each site is actually a web based CRM system that can have a various numbers of users logging in at any one time and they can do things like sending mass emails, attaching files to contact records writing notes and so on.

The reason for using Nagios is to make sure we can find out what data usage a particular website is using at any given time so that we can set some kind of bandwidth and data usage limits. For example we might say to a client you are allowed 1 gig of data storage a day and if they break that limit i want an email to tell me.

Or they might send a mass email to 30,000 contacts and attach a 20 meg file to each record which would be really bad.

Are these things i am going to be able to monitor? If so please could someone point me at a video tutorial or tell me what components to setup.

Many thanks.

This functionality is not built into Nagios Core. However, if you can write a script to collect this information then it is fairly simple to integrate it with Nagios. You can also check Nagios Exchange to see if someone else has already written a plugin to do what you need.
