6.9. Dedicated server monitoring

1. Ensure that a Telegram account is linked to the account. If not, please link it.
2. In the "Dedicated" section on the "Monitoring" tab, click "Add rule".
3. Select a checking method, specify its parameters and click "Add rule":

   • HTTP
   • Telnet
   • MySQL
   • Ping

   When using this method, the system accesses the specified URL or IP address, retrieves the page from the server, and checks for the presence of the specified word on it.

   

   • "Checking method" — "HTTP".
   • "URL or IP":
     • Either a link to a page that will check the availability of the server.
     • Or the IP address of the server, if the page to be checked is accessible when accessed directly by IP.
   • "Search word" — word that the system should check for on the page.
   • "Checking frequency" — the interval at which the system should perform the check (5, 10, 30 or 60 minutes).
   • "Ignoring after error" — the period during which the system will not send repeated notifications after the first detection of a problem (30, 60 or 120 minutes). The option is intended to prevent the bot from spamming messages while the problem is being resolved.

   When using this method, the system utilizes the telnet utility to contact the server via the specified domain or IP and checks for a connection on the specified port.

   

   • "Checking method" — "Telnet".
   • "Domain or IP":
     • Either the domain by which the availability of the server will be checked.
     • Or the server's IP address.
   • "Port" — the number of the port whose availability the system should check.
   • "Checking frequency" — the interval at which the system should perform the check (5, 10, 30 or 60 minutes).
   • "Ignoring after error" — the period during which the system will not send repeated notifications after the first detection of a problem (30, 60 or 120 minutes). The option is intended to prevent the bot from spamming messages while the problem is being resolved.

   

   • "Checking method" — "MySQL".
   • "Host":
     • Either the host address of the database server.
     • Or the IP address of the database server.
   • "Port" — the number of the port on which the system should check for availability (for example, the default 3306).
   • "Login" — database user login.
   • "Password" — database user password.
   • "Maximum number of processes" — the number of connections at which a notification should be sent.
   • "Checking frequency" — the interval at which the system should perform the check (5, 10, 30 or 60 minutes).
   • "Ignore after error" — select the period during which the system will not send repeated notifications after the first detection of a malfunction (30, 60, or 120 minutes). This option is designed to prevent the bot from spamming messages while the issue is being resolved.

   When using this method, the system utilizes the ping utility to contact the server via the specified domain or IP and checks for a connection on the specified port.

   

   • "Checking method" — "Ping".
   • "Domain or IP":
     • Either the domain by which the availability of the server will be checked.
     • Or the server's IP address.
   • "Checking frequency" — the interval at which the system should perform the check (5, 10, 30 or 60 minutes).
   • "Ignoring after error" — the period during which the system will not send repeated notifications after the first detection of a problem (30, 60 or 120 minutes). The option is intended to prevent the bot from spamming messages while the problem is being resolved.

All added rules are displayed in the list:

• "Options" — operating parameters of the selected method.
• "Last check" — date and time of the last check.
