reifman writes "Nothing sucks more than finding an 'Error establishing database connection' on your blog hours after the fact, but it's not easy to find inexpensive, simple monitoring solutions which support smartphone notifications. I wrote MonitorApp, a free, open source software applet which sends notifications to your iPhone (or Android) if anything goes wrong with your web site or services. This tutorial describes how to install and configure MonitorApp for your own purposes. The only cost is a $4.99 mobile application called Pushover — which links MonitorApp to your phone. Pushover also links with Nagios, a more complex open source option — but ironically, Nagios' website was down when I looked for it last month." http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=How+To+Build+a+Simple+Open+Source+Serv er+Monitoring+Solution+With+Mobile+Support%3A+http %3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F1cO4mAI) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.slashdot.org% 2Fstory%2F13%2F08%2F08%2F1933213%2Fhow-to-build-a-simple-open-source-server-monitoring-solution-with-mobile-support%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfac ebook) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://developers.slashdot.org/story/13/08/08/1933213/how-to-build-a-simple-open-source-server-monitoring-solution-with-mobile-support?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
