I am new to server administration and I am looking for some options for monitoring my slice (ruby on rails site) on slicehost. Ideally, a live view of status and loads would be great.
Any suggestions?
A:
The easiest thing to do is SSH into your slice and run htop and mysql top, these two applications will give you detailed views into what's happening with your system.

If you have an iPhone, you should take a look at iStat. There's an open source version of the monitoring daemon that runs nicely on Ubuntu.

Do you have a link for this? I did some googling and can't find what you are referring to.

Here's the google code link for the UNIX daemon: http://code.google.com/p/istatd/And the iTunes link for the iPhone app:http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=303034517And FWIW, I'm not the developer of either, just a satisfied user.

Did you compare this to NewRelic RPM at all? These are the two I am considering.
