This tutorial shows how to install and configure the Zenoss network monitoring tool on a Ubuntu 6.06 system. Zenoss is a free open-source tool that allows you to monitor servers, applications, networks, power, etc. regarding their configuration, availability, performance, and so on. It can also alert you by email if it finds inappropriate actions.

will give a simple example of how to setup BixData. It will hopefully be obvious how to adapt it to your situation. Although BixData is designed to handle large clusters of servers, I'll just show you how to maintain one. In this simple example I will assume you have a webserver and your own workstation. If the CPU usage on the webserver ever stays above 70% for 10 minutes you want Bix to restart apache and send you an email. If the webserver becomes unreachable you want to get an email. If the machine is still down after 1 hour you want to send an email to your coworker. All of this is very easy to set up with BixData.
