getting my stat on
I’ve spent some of the last weekend and a few nights working on getting my stats on. Specifically I now have memcached and mysql pushing stats out via SNMP, which I’m polling and graphing with my install of OpenNMS. Next up will be a quick piece to check the queues of the postfix and qmail servers. Once I get my graph output squared away ( pretty colors and all ) I’ll push up a quick guide detailing what I did and why.
Thus far simply have the graphs going a couple of days are giving me good insight into what I’ve got running and the trends being shown let me know there are some server tweaks that need to happen as well as applications logic which will need to traced back to figure out how it’s leading to certain results.
In the end popping this information out and graphing it was much easier than I thought it would be.
