Advanced Service Monitor (2) - advancedmonitor.sh

This is a more advanced version a previous service monitor script , giving more output and debug possibilities.

This script will monitor and start/restart a specific service that you specify. By default it will do Apache, the Linux web server. To use it, do the following:

cd / root ; wget http://serverkb.co.uk/tools/advancedmonitor.sh ; chmod +x advancedmonitor.sh
crontab -e

In here add:

10 * * * * /root/advancedmonitor.sh

Edit the file and replace the admin email address with yours by doing:

vim advancedmonitor.sh

Replace apache2 with httpd within it if your server calls Apache httpd instead.

To start another service edit the following field:

service="apache2"

For example for MySQL have service="mysql" instead (or mysqld)

Backup databases on Plesk server (3) - backupdb.sh

This backs up all databases as .sql files and a .tar.gz containing all excluding information_schema, atmail and horde on a Plesk Linux server but does not email you them.

Email version (4) - databasedump.sh

This backs up all databases as .sql files and a .tar.gz containing all .sql excluding information_schema, atmail and horde on a Plesk Linux server and emails you them.

Only .sql files (5) - dbSQLonly.sh

Use this script if you only want .sql files in separate emails and not the extra one with all MySQL databases compressed into a .tar.gz.

For both of the above:

apt-get install mutt

or

yum install mutt

chmod 755 /sent ; chmod 755 /root/sent
vim /etc/passwd

Change the root user's home directory to / instead of /root

crontab -e

*  * * * 0 :> /root/sent

Notes

Remove spaces between file names

Guide 1

Do not use for-loops to process lists of unknown length, like a directory listing. If the list grows too long it will exceed your maximum line length (see syslimits.h) and your code will break. Using a while-loop removes this risk.

Guide 2

Realtime monitor of Apache accesslog

vim realtime.sh

#!/bin/bash
ACCESSLOG="/var/log/apache2/access_log"
DATE=`date +%d\/%b\/%Y`
TOTAL=`netstat -pant | grep :80 | wc -l`

echo "There are a total of $TOTAL port 80 connections."
echo -ne "The " ; uptime | awk '{print $8,$9,$10,$11,$12}' ; echo ""

tail -10 $ACCESSLOG | grep $DATE" | awk '{ x = $2 " " $4 " " $7 ; printf "%-15s %-20s \n", $1, x, $7}'

Run this with:

watch -n 2 ./realtime.sh

Alternatively you can use httpry. This may be best run in a screen session so you can enter in and out of it. To use it do:

wget dldmz.eu/s/httpry
chmod +x httpry
./httpry

Then go to your websites. You can output the contents to a file by using:

./httpry -o filename
