Hey I'd like to know how to - if even possible - reflect what method calls are executed inside the method during execution. I'm especially interested in either external method calls (that is, methods in other classes) or calling some specific method like getDatabaseConnection(). My intention would be to monitor predefined objects' acti...
Use case: 3rd party application wants to programatically monitor a text file being generated by another program. Text file contains data you want to analyze as it's being updated. I'm finding a lot of answers to this question wrapped around FileSystemWatcher but let's say you are writing an application for a Windows machine and can't gu...
I'm setting up some monitoring on a few SQL Servers. Currently our environment uses Hobbit Monitoring System, but we are probably migrating to Nagios pretty soon. One of the DBAs recommended Spotlight to me, and it seems like a great piece of software, but here's what I'm wondering... Is it possible to configure Spotlight to report som...
Ok, I am trying to use Tail to monitor a log file, but I cannot get the same behavior programatically as when I manually run it through cmd prompt using the same parameters. When run through cmd prompt it displays the new lines instantly. Programatically though, I have to wait for about 75+ new lines in log file before the 'buffer' unle...
I track alot of things with RRD, eg, uptime, network throughput, etc. This works well when you can fit all the graphs on a single page, however, once you scale beyond a page it becomes difficult to use graphs to catch issues, you need to look at them to see that there is an issue, and if there is hundreds or thousands of graphs, that obv...
Hi, I'm building a .NET 3.5 web app and I am thinking about all the fundamental issues as I work through the project, like monitoring, exception handling, the lot. The app will obviously be small in size when it is rolled out because it won't have a high load until the site is heavily promoted (lines of code/cyclometric complexity and ...
Hi all, I'm searching free tools for monitor tomcat (traffic, memory usage, threads, requests, CPU, logs,...). I'm currently using lambdaprobe on Tomcat 5.5.x, but it seems that is no more developed (or not? the site lambdaprobe.org is always down for me...). Has someone good experiences to share? In lambdaprobe there are some info avail...

I'm operating a neighbourhood WIFI network in a rural environment. Now I'm looking fo a monitoring tool to run on a server (Windows or Linux) wich tracks bandwidth, uptime (clients as well as internet connection), et al. Most of this information is exposed via SNMP by my routers and access points, so SNMP support is required. Additiona...
I think many developers know that uncomfortable feeling when users tell them that "The application is slow (again)." In a complex web application there can be many possible reasons for a degradation in (perceived) performance: slow database response, bandwidth issues, bad caching etc. There certainly are issues which will never occur in...
Hi there. I am trying to launch the Coldfusion Server Monitor on a Windows Server 2003 (Web Edition) machine running Coldfusion 8 (ver. 8,0,0,176276). It is running in stand-alone configuration. The pop-up window launches as http://www.mydomain.com/CFIDE/administrator/monitor/launch-monitor.cfm. However, I get a Flash dialogue box the...
I hope this is "close enough to programming" to pass the bar :) Is there any way to monitor SSL transactions / sec on Sun Webproxy? Preferably with SNMP, but anything goes :) ...
[Community wiki] Monitoring a production platform is of the utmost importance for our organization. (and I am not talking about an exe on a single platform, but rather a farm of 2 or 3 thousands servers (PC-Linux-Solaris), for various financial processing purposes) However, the various monitoring tools have so many sound alerts it is no...
Is there a way to find out when in a LAN anyone plugs in a pendrive to the USB port? Programatically (in C# preferably) or through some tool. Basically I'd imagine a client application sits on each terminal and monitors the USB ports and sends the information to the server. a.) Can I get the details of the file(s) being copied? b.) Is...
I'd like to have an application monitor written in C# monitoring a set of Forex trading positions. It would be connected via USB to a real set of "traffic lights" sat on a desk which it would use to indicate system status. Can anybody suggest a good solution? ...
I am working on a background program that will be running for a long time, and I have a external logging program (SmartInspect) that I want to feed with some values periodically, to monitor it in realtime when debugging. I know I can simply fire up multiple programs, like the Task Manager, or IARSN TaskInfo, but I'd like to keep everyth...
What software does everyone use to monitor hardware? I know about nagios and cacti, but does anyone use any other software? ...
Is it possible for me to see the amount of processor usage (% of maximum) that the current, python, app is using? Scenario: My host will allow me to run my app as long as it does not consume more then X% of the CPU power, so I would like it to 'keep an eye on itself' and slowdown. So how can I know how much CPU the app is using? Targ...
I think Cacti is great except for the fact that it takes hours to configure it. There is a lot that you can do with it but I find it a little overly complicated. A script collecting disk utilization recently broke on me (for no apparent reason), I spent 3 hours and got no where. I would like a tool like Cacti but super easy to setup. I ...
Hi all, We currently use Hp SiteScope for monitoring synthetic transactions across some of our web apps. This works pretty well except for the licensing cost for each synthetic transaction makes it prohibitive to ensure adequate coverage across our applications. So, an alternative would be to use SiteScope's URL monitoring which can ba...
