XFCE, possible to monitor remote dedicated web server? Conky et al?

Hi all,
I'm new to Arch, this is my 3rd day. I'm still actually fairly new to Linux, and haven't done a lot of customization, especially with desktop monitoring and status apps like conky and etc. I'm running Arch on a fairly old laptop, and I don't do a lot of performance hogging things, so I really have no interest in monitoring my local machine or displaying stats of my local machine on my desktop. But, if it were possible to somehow aggregate performance and stats from my remote webserver that would be fantastic.
Even if it's something as simple as uptime and cpu load averages or anything like that. Has anyone ever done any kind of remote server monitoring on the desktop and if so, what's the best program to install for that? I've never used conky before or any other, so before I invest a bunch of time in one, if it's not going to meet these particular needs, I'd rather get some direction from you guys.
as for my webserver, it is a dedicated web server running debian (Dreamhost), so I have full capability to install what I need to install on it in order to make the performance monitoring available, as long as whatever I need to install is secure. I only have ssh and ftp access to the server as far as I know.
Thanks! Looking forward to learning so much from this distro! So far I feel like I've dived into a magical swimming pool of knowledge absorption and my linux knowledge has almost doubled in two days. You guys rock!

Conky has the ability to execute arbitrary commands and capture the output. Take a look at man conky and see the information on the exec command and friends.
Edit:
Oh, and welcome to Arch Linux

Remote panel / Web server. II part ?

Hi all
There has been some activity about remote panels / web server in this forum.
Basically, NI documentation states LV run time, at least, must be intalled in client PC to use that feature.
In this link to post
a post from NI engenier Jeremy L. says that just to monitor a remote panel vi, NI soft is not necessary in the client PC. That option looks very interesting.
So, my questions are:
1- Somebody got to monitor a remote vi if LabView or run time is not installed in client PC.?
2- Can NI peo
ple clarify this option?
3- What is, if anything, the minimun NI soft required in client PC to monitor a remote vi front panel?
Thanks in advance

Well as I said for monitoring, NO NI software is necessary. For Remote
Control you basically need the lvrt.dll runtime and some supporting
files such as lvapp.rsc.
As the runtime gets more and more complex it is not a good idea to try
to install individual files. Eventhough the lvrt.dll contains up to now
all the code necessary to execute simple LabVIEW programs there is more
necessary to be able to for instance display the LabVIEW 6.x 3D controls
(all of the
models directory is then necessary) or in the case of the
web plugin I would assume the lvpng.dll and lvjpeg.dll will be also
necessary.
Also some registry settings have to be set so that the plugin or LabVIEW
application can find the appropriate runtime engine, unless you want to
copy all the necessary files into the same directory as your application.
In view of this I would not even consider getting a LabVIEW runtime
system onto a computer other than by adding it through the application
builder to my executable, or running the official NI runtime installer.

What should I monitor on a Web server?

When doing a load test / Performance test, what should I monitor on the Web server during the test?
Felix

Felix,
on Web servers you typically use the following monitors:
*CPU Usage
*Memory Usage
*Hits/pages per second
*Web process system utilization
*Current connections
*Disk swapping
*Disk utilization
They let you see how your server is behaving during load.
Good luck with the testing

Programmalically disconect a user from Remote Panel Web Server

If a Web client is accessing to my Web Server for a long time, how can I Programmatically disconnet it?

Hi,
in LV 6.1 you can't progammatically disconnect a client that holds control of a remote vi panel.
But you can limit the time the client can hold control:
go on Tools\Options\Web Server:Visible Vis, here you have the control time limit which
specifies the amount of time in seconds a client is allowed to control a VI front panel in the Visible VIs list.

Is there any monitoring tool for web server and application server ?

experts,
I just want to know that is there any monitoring utility which being used to monitor the web server activities like threads web console session tracking and so on..
I am using Jboss as my application server.If you suggest any monitoring tool for Jboss It would be helpful for me,

You may use jConsole

Is it possible to use Standalone Apache web server with APEX ?

HI,
We are currently evaluating Oracle Applciation Express to be part of our product suite.
Currently, in our software landscape, we are using standalone apache http server on the database server (Required for our java front end application). We support our product on both 9i & 10g. My query is for Oracle APEX, can I use the same standaloe apache http server or Is it a must that I have to use Oracle HTTP server. (I read abt' embedded PL/SQL gateway, however I am not sure whether it's supported on 9i). I am not sure, whether for mod_plsql we have to use Oracle HTTP server only.
Any inputs on this will be of great help.
Thanks,
Ganesh

To access APEX through Apache, you need to use mod_plsql. I don't think there is a mod_plsql plug-in that you can install into a standalone Apacher server. I could be wrong, someone else might know more about this.
I think it would probably be easiest to use the HTTP server that comes on the 10g companion disk - that comes "free" when you buy the database. It is Apache and it has mod_plsql already installed and set up.
Seems like I played around with the embedded PL/SQL gateway (DBMS_EPG package) on 9i a while ago. I could be wrong, it was a while ago. I was in the process of upgrading 8iR3 to 9iR2 and also evaluating new features of 10gR1. Things seem to mesh together after time.
Thanks,
Dan

Web server partition scheme

Hello Arch, I've been using Ubuntu for about three months and wanted to switch to something less bloated for my first dedicated web server.
I'll be writing a small web application using Django and the default SQLite.
Does anyone know where most of of the data will end up?
I know I'll need a fairly large /var for /var/www and maybe logs, but where is the default Django SQLite database stored?
I have a 80GB SATA drive on a SiliconImage softraid card.
This is my current idea for the partition scheme
sda1 primary /boot 100MB
sda2 primary / 15000 MB
sda3 extended
sda5 logical /usr 10000 MB
sda5 logical /var the rest
Would I need more than 10GB for /usr? Less?

Ok in that case I have no idea which directories will grow once I've configured Django.
Is there any real problem with simply partitioning boot and / ?
In general, there isn't much of a problem with that. I would suggest maybe a separate /home directory, but I don't even use that, so I guess it's up to you. It usually helps if you need to reinstall/change distros. Also, most Django code should be kept in /home/username, at least from my experiences with it.

Integration of Sun One Web Server 6.0 with Sun One App Server 7.0

Is it possible to integrate Sun One Web Server 6.0 with the Sun One App Server 7.0??
Sun One App Server 7.0 comes with the in-built HTTP listener. But we want to know if there is a way by which we can use the Sun One Web Server 6.0 with the App Server 7.0 and not the in-bulit HTTP listener?

As suggested by you, I have used Sun ONE Application Server 7's plugin to connect the Sun ONE Web Server 6.0 with Sun ONE Application Server 7 as per the information given in Sun ONE Application Server 7 Administrator's Guide.
I have added the plugin package to the webserver and added the following into the magnus.conf:
Init fn="load-modules" shlib="C:/iPlanet/Servers/plugins/passthrough/passthrough.dll" funcs="init-passthrough,auth-passthrough,check-passthrough,service-passthrough" NativeThread="no"
Init fn="init-passthrough"
and to the obj.conf
NameTrans fn="assign-name" from="(/A2P2Test|/A2P2Test/*)" name="passthrough"
<Object name="passthrough">
ObjectType fn="force-type" type="magnus-internal/passthrough"
Service type="magnus-internal/passthrough" fn="service-passthrough" servers="http://<application server http listener>"
Error reason="Bad Gateway" fn="send-error" uri="$docroot/badgateway.html"
</Object>
The webserver starts up without any errors but never forwards any requests what might I be doing wrong?

Separate Web Server

Would like to hear about pros/cons of using a separate Web Server (such as
NES) vs the bundled WLS 5.1 seb server in a Solaris environment, to serve
static content. The site we are building will have a significant amount of
static content.
Some possible issues might be:
PROS for separate web server:
- web server optimized for efficient handling of static content, reduces
load on WLS
- allows for possibility of scaling out the web server on a separate box
from WLS
- web server can be configured/managed in a more granular way?
CONS for separate web server:
- cost of task/context switching when requesting dynamic content from app
server? ( Maybe there is already context switch overhead in a integratedWLS
configuration - who knows?)
- problems with configuring web applications (URLs?) - references from JSPs
to static content can't be relative URLs?
- one-stop solution is easier to manage
I'd like to hear about any experiences with this issue. We need to recommend
a configuration to a client.

Either way, to scale WL into a cluster, you need to front-end it with
Apache, IIS, or NES (afaik). But that "front end" doesn't have to be
serving static content ... it could just be there to support the clusterand
you could have a separate trunk handling (and specialized for) static
content.FYI, the notion of having to front end WLS with anything will soon go away.
Currently, we have a requirement that proxies be intelligent and have some
level of knowledge about in memory replication. If the primary's
unavailable, they need to know where to send the session for the secondary.
We are changing the product to remove this requirement.
In addition, we're currently working with hardware vendors (such as alteon)
and software solutions (such as resonate) that will obviate the need for any
Web server proxies or using WebLogic server as the proxy. This will provide
you with in memory replication and all of the features of our clustering
while simplifying things greatly and improving performance.

How much static content do you have on your site? Is your site driven by
static content or driven by dynamic content? For example, if most of your
pages, including your home page, are JSPs, but you do have some staticpages
that get linked to (plus the obvious gif/jpg files that are static) thenyou
may want to consider WL as your primary web server and have Apache (etc.)
there just to serve up images and static html. If the bulk of your siteis
static and portions are dynamic, then you might want to have Apache
front-end your site with just specific parts being farmed out to WL.

Is Sun Java Web Server 6.1 compatible with RedHat 5.5

Hi,
Sun Java web Server 6.1 installed on Red Hat 5.1 and Opertaing System is going to be upgraded to Red Hat 5.5. Can any one tell me whether Sun Java Web Server 6.1 is compatible with Red Hat Linux 5.5

If you want the internal server to service requests for /admin, you should teach the internal server to service requests for /admin.
It is possible -- but complicated -- to configure Web Server 6.1 to rewrite request URIs before proxying requests to the internal server. However, unless you rewrite all the HTML generated by the internal server, the results probably won't be what you want. Consider, for example, what happens if the internal server's HTML references /foo.gif. Does that mean the web browser should ask for /admin/foo.gif or /foo.gif?
Rewriting request URIs is much simpler in Web Server 7.0, but it's still probably not the right tool.

Any way to capture output from iPlanet Web Server V6 at socket level?

Hi,
I'm wondering if it's possible to configure the iPlanet Web Server (V6) so that I can capture the full request and response of a hit and "log" them to another process. Something like a pipeline of NSAPI modules would be ideal. I've written similar code for Apache, IIS, and Tomcat and am wondering if this is possible for iPlanet?
Thanks.

Hi, I was wondering if you ever received a response to your question. If so, can you please share it with me?

G web server monitoring

Hello all,
I am running a web site that is using the LabView G Web server to deliver various report results. The entire site and all reports are written in LabView (7.1.1). What I would like to know is anyone out there using any web server monitoring software for the G Web server? I would like something that can not only notify me if the web server goes down, but could provide usage stats etc. There is an issue in some of the reports that use Matlab code inside of the LabView, that will occasionally crash all of LabView with a memory location error. Since all of labview crashes I cannot use a labview solution for monitoring.
Any suggestions or recomendations would be appreciated.
thanks

Hi,
That sounds good, except for the part about LabVIEW crashing Did anyone ever look into the root cause of that error? It's great to have the automated notification process in place, but perhaps it's worth looking into the origin of the crash itself. If you have more information about this, I can try to help you with that! You can also check out the knowledgebase for articles related to LabVIEW and Matlab and any problems using them. You noted that the issue was with "some of the reports that use Matlab code inside of the LabView" - I don't think we ever attacked that aspect of it directly, outside of the exe suggestion. Anyway, is it possible to implement the necessary features in LabVIEW exclusively? If you can describe the nature of the code which is not LabVIEW native, perhaps I can direct you to a pure LabVIEW implementation which avoids the problem.
Thanks and have a great weekend!

Web server and remote vi trouble

Hi to all,
after reading this :
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361B-01/lvhowto/embed_vi_in_html_doc/
Seem possible to have a Central Labview Web server where all Html pages are stored, each page have an object that point to a remote VI (located on a remote machine).
I tried to set up the parameters in HTML OBJECT as described, but don't work.
In red is the code that i have added/modified
<PARAM name="LVFPPVINAME" value="test.vi">
<PARAM name="IPADDRESS" value="http://192.168.1.100">
<EMBED src="http://192.168.1.100/.LV_FrontPanelProtocol.rpvi82"

TYPE="application/x-labviewrpvi82" WIDTH=x HEIGHT=x
PLUGINSPAGE="http://digital.ni.com/express.nsf/express?openagent&code=ex3e33&"></EMBED>
</OBJECT>
Any suggestion?
Both my computer have LabVIEW Professional Development System 8.2
Thanks

Hi,
the dev zone document says that if you already have an HTML document, you can embed a VI in the HTML document so a client computer can view and control the front panel of the VI in a browser. It doesn't speak about store multiple html pages in web server. So maybe you are not refering to the right document. I don't think that you can manage multiple html pages from LabVIEW.

Using iPlanet Web Server 6.0 (with ASP or JSP), is it possible to create a StarOffice, Word or Acrobat document using a template and merging it with data from a database (say Oracle)?

Hi,
It is possible, But it has to be done through codes and iPlanet Web Server has nothing to do with it. But if you want to create the word document by ASP you have to install ASP plugin like ChilliASP (from Chilisoft) with iPlanet Web Server.Merging with database can be done through your code.
