How do you monitor your systems?

I'd like to be able to monitor my Ironport systems to be able to see
* SMTP up/down on each interface
* active recipient queue size
* CPU/RAM/Disk use (as a %)
* number of connections in last 5 minutes
* ...In fact some of the data from the system status and system overview screens in the GUI.
But I don't want to manually log in to the GUI/CLI to manually check this.
I was hoping the SNMP interface would expose these counters then I can easily bolt the Ironports into my existing monitor system, set some thresholds and get alerted when something might be wrong.
Do you have automatic monitoring of the systems?
How have you set it up?
Right now all I have in place is checking via ping and that the SMTP port is open on the exposed interfaces. No monitoring of the system counters.

Corey, are your company using Hypersoft for mail tracking and reporting for the complete mailflow from IronPort-Internal Mail system-users mailboxes? We are using HyperSoft Omni Analyser for internal mailtracking and reporting (our e-mail system is based on Lotus Domino).
It would be great to have a solution that covers the complete mailflow. I have had a lot of phonecalls the last week with our salesrep from HyperSoft to find out what HyperSoft can offer. The salesrep seems to have a tight connection with HyperSoft development here in Europe and the IronPort add-on to their existing reporting sw is still under development and they need input for what functions and features we customers need. The MFC mail tracking is great, the reports are ok but IronPort has no soulution for monitoring system status.
I told Hypersoft that it would be nice to have a one tool for mail tracking, reporting and system status monitoring. I have sent HyperSoft mail logs from our IronPort for mail tracking and reporting and the demo reports look promising. In order to get systems status HyperSoft could either use the status logs for historical reports or use the XML pages provided (like ironportip/xml/status) or both.
Are there other interfaces IronPort provides in order to get system status, except for snmp? I look forward to feedback/ideas
Thanks /Micke

How do you read your favorite feeds?

Hi! This is my very first post on Arch forums.
I'm wondering about how do you read your favorite feeds? Which software do you use and why (what kind of features).
I'm more interested in finding a little software that uses the system tray.
Yet I'm also curious about just how does, those who utilize RSS, do it.
Personally I've used YARSSR, which is exactly what I want, except for few problems..
On Ubuntu it used to be as easy as make, make install (having build-essenial installed). On Debian 4.0 stable it is in the stable repos, so it was even easier. On Arch it's not in any of the repos nor AUR and make, make install didn't work:
# yarssr
bash: yarssr: command not found
# /usr/local/bin/yarssr
Can't locate Gnome2.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/yarssr /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /usr/local/lib/yarssr/Yarssr.pm line 3.

Compilation failed in require at /usr/local/bin/yarssr line 13.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/bin/yarssr line 13.
I'd love to understand what's going on. How to install it right.
Anyhow, it's far from perfect anyway. It's the single thing that is not working so perfectly on my Debian as it should. Uses way too much CPU, sometimes stays trying to update and never does update nor allow forced updates, no quitting, etc..
I also use Google Reader, which is great to read many feeds and manage them, etc.
All I want is a little applet (maybe GNOME applet?) that gives me quick glimpse of my top favorite feeds, without using my browser nor launching a full-functional aggregator.

Hi James.
I'd like to know how you want to read your news
i'd prefer a cli frontend, web front would be bonus (river of news style).
snownews is good, just needs a few tweaks, some ui ones, and the main one being:
often i dont get to read news for a few days straight, so i'd like something i can put in cron and it'll update, and log the news for a few days straight, so when i get back it's all there. this generally limits me to one of the web clients, i dont know any desktop apps that do this.
i might write up an app to do this someday
as for your yassr problem, pacman -S gnome-perl?

You could have more 5 computers authorized if you ever, for example, reformatted a hard drive or replaced a hard drive without deauthorizing the computer first. Apple's system would see that as a different computer, even though you don't. There's nothing to be afraid of in deauthorizing everything and the reauthorizing what you actually have. You won't lose any data. Mistimp is correct, they can't tell you which computers are authorized.

How do you get your options in your workflow incamera raw 6.0 to stay so you don't have to change them everytime?

How do you get your options in your workflow in camera raw 6.0 to stay so you don't have to change them everytime?

No one, absolutely no one should be using Adobe Camera Raw 6.0. You should be on Camera Raw 6.7.
Don't rely on the Adobe auto updater to tell you there are no available updates and assume "everything is up to date". That auto updater was totally unreliable until CS6.
The workflow options are absolutely sticky. You should not have to change them at all unless you want to.
If they're not after you update ACR to 6.7, you'd need to troubleshoot your system.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, video card specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.

How do you get your contacts into groups?

how do you get your contacts into groups?

When you ask a question, please include the version of Mac OS X on your computer. iOS is not a Mac operating system.
Assuming you are running OS 10.9.1:
Open Contacts. Click File in the menu bar and select New Group. Enter the name of the group in Contacts on the left.
Go back to All Contacts (on the left) then drag and drop the names you want in that group on to the folder you just named.
Repeat as necessary for other groups.
Note that the names remain, as they should, in All Contacts, even after you have added them to a group.. You can delete a group if you want. The names will still remain in All Contacts.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

How do you monitor backup progress

How can you monitor the progress of a backup? I use timemachine and an external drive to do my backups on my 09 Macbook pro. I want to be able to see the amount of files transferred and time remaining or any other pertinent info. Not just a spinning wheel.

I don't know, I use bootable clones myself and it shows me the progress of the backup and updating of files.
However I can point you to this guy who is the local TM guru
All about Time Machine
If you want to learn more about all sorts of backups to diversify your restore options (TM can fail to restore properly), including bootable clones etc. then read my UT here on the subject.
Most commonly used backup methods explained
I personally don't use TimeMachine, preferring the more advanced bootable clone options.

Hi,
Why do you want to use LDAP for Hard disk monitoring..???
U can do this by creating a MD5 checksum for all the files existing in some
perticular
directory and every hour or any configurable period u can recalculate the
checksum
to find out the change in the content.
I guess all u need is to get the code for "updatedb" utility of Linux and
instrument it for ur needs..
Hope it helps...

How would you configure your database?

How would you configure your disks with those specifications?
General Database Characteristics:
os is Oracle Enterprise Linux 64 bit
Enterprise Edition
180GIG size database.
High "oltp" environment.
Estimated growth of 40 to 60GIG/year
20GIG of archivelogs/Day
Flashback time is 24 hours:120GIG of flashback space in avg
Local backup. Full database copy, then incremental is the preferred method.
That way, if a datafile goes bezerk, replace with backup datafile then recover.
Or if only a few corrupt block, block recover with rman.
BTW: Backup is done locally first, then send to another server, than on tape.
Archivelogs is duplexed on another server.
General Hardware Info:
Server Platform: Dell PowerEdge 1950
16 GIG RAM
2 * 64 bit CPU's
2 * local 300G/15rpm disks
Storage: Dell PowerVault MD3000
15 * 300G/15rpm Disks
Possibility for 17 disks here.
Here is my configuration so far:
OS+ oracle binary + Online Redo Logs Copy 1 + Control File Copy 1: 2 disks raid 1
flashback + backup + Online Redo Logs Copy 2 + Control File Copy 2: 4 disks raid 1 or 10
archivelogs: 2 disks raid 1
Temporary Datafiles: 1 disk no raid
UNDO Datafiles: 2 disks raid 1
Datafiles 6 disk raid10
total 17 disks: + spare disks on the side of one ever fails
1) How would you configure it with those specs?
2) Is there missing info to make a particular decision?

Here is my reply concerning data separate from index files:
See http://www.dizwell.com/prod/node/751 for the complete article.
"Why wouldn't you keep indexes separate from their tables?! Because doing so makes no difference to performance... and I patiently explained that a table and its index are never accessed simultaneously by a single user so that contention between them cannot arise. And yes, in a multi-user system, of course the two could be accessed simultaneously -but so could two tables, or two indexes. "

Do you monitor your employee PC activities?

We don't monitor anything here. But the reason for that is we are a start-up company full of Engineers and like-minded people with best practices in mind.
Other companies though we would use a combination of live monitoring (VNC) and we would keep track of user browsing history with various free utilities.
Really though, if you have your securities and things configured properly network side, you really don't have to worry about monitoring. Restrict what you don't want people using/surfing and then you don't need to really worry about actively monitoring individual end users so much as just making sure your configuration is still good from time to time.

This was spurred from another discussion concerning monitoring software (http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1042244-employee-monitoring-software) which dovetailed into monitoring employees and how you do it.
I'm of the camp that sometimes you need a break beyond the standard lunch to refocus on a project or your workload, and that taking to social media, reading blogs, checking personal e-mail can be a way to do that. I mean, people take smoke breaks or grab coffee, why can't I check Reddit?
How do you feel about this? Do you monitor your employees online activities? Are your more lax or more strict when it comes to those behaviors?
