Monit Graph is a logging and graphing tool for Monit written in PHP5. It can manage big amounts of data, and will keep a history of Monit statuses.
To get started, you will first need to have Monit installed with HTTP access enabled. You can read more under "Setting up Monit".
composer install
config/servers.ini
(you can use servers.template.ini
)* * * * * cd /path/to/monit-graph && php src/scripts/cron.php >> /var/log/monit-graph.log
composer server
To setup Monit on Ubuntu, please follow the below steps.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install monit
sudo vi /etc/monit/monitrc
Make sure the following parameters are set correctly (these are examples, adjust accordingly):
set idfile /var/run/monit-id
set statefile /var/run/monit-state
set daemon 60
set logfile /var/log/monit.log
set mailserver localhost
set mail-format { from: [email protected] }
set alert [email protected] # receive all alerts
set httpd port 2812 and use the address XX.XX.XX.XX # Remove "and use the address XX.XX.XX.XX", if not bind to specific IP
ssl enable # Enabling SSL
pemfile /etc/ssl/monit.pem # The PEM file
signature disable # No server signature to send
allow mylogin:"mypassword" # Login
Remember to allow httpd to run, or else Monit graph cannot contact you.
Add a few configuration files into the /etc/monit/conf.d/ directory. You can use the examples from the monitrc directory.
Check if the configuration are good:
monit -t
Restart
service monit restart
If the script have trouble managing big amounts of data, try increase the allowed allocated memory in a .htaccess
REMEMBER to password protect the directory with .htaccess or anything appropriate
Loading many services can be very heavy for your browser, try specify the services you wish be shown.
Monit-Graph has a few tools to help development.
composer build-massive-data
