Hi, I have been wrestling with Amazon's CloudWatch API with limited success. Does anyone know of any good resources (other than amazon's api docs) for using the APIs.

I just picked up a job where I'm to make some changes to a custom built SNMP monitoring daemon and test it. The code changes to the daemon are quite simple, the trick is going to be testing it. Are there any tools out there that will mimic an SNMP enabled router? I'm only tracking traffic usage, so I'd suspect that I could write somet...

This could be done quite simply by having the program itself tell the visualization what it is doing, but I want to be able to do this with any Java method/class and not just the ones I modify to do so. What I need is...

We want to develop a new monitoring system to bring visibility to the status of our enterprise systems. Instead of using Microsoft SCOM or similar tools we thought of having a more technologically advanced approach. We thought of using a similar concept like igoogle / LIVE gadgets and to display them in a gadget container. The type of g...
Now there is a subject that could be taken many ways. Hopefully I will be able to de-obfuscate it as I describe my problem and start getting suggestions. I am developing a site that will be replacing an existing one. Historically one of the problems we have had is spider bots coming in and sucking down all out content. Now we don't m...
Hi, I am attempting to implement some additional statistics gathering in a C# server application - I have about 20 or so variables I'd like to be able to report to network monitoring tools; so I am assuming (hopefully correctly) that SNMP is the correct way to go.

I tried to use the command "top", but it only listed actual top level processes, not PHP scripts. I have also managed to start a PHP script using the...

I've seen some questions about this on SO, but they talk about Linux or NVidia. I would like to have this information for ATI cards on Windows. Thanks. ...
Hey guys, I've been tasked with finding a way to log every outgoing request from one of our servers. It cannot be a proxy or firewall of any kind. It simply needs to sit in memory and watch the outgoing traffic and log what it sees. I'm going to be building metrics on this later and it needs to be free/open source. I've done some googl...
