When I was visiting a small development house a few years back they used an IRC channel to monitor events on their servers e.g. build server, mail server, http server and specific processes like shell scripts or crontabs.
After an event had completed or encountered an exception then it would message and alert to the IRC channel which was short but descriptive.
I would like to implement something like this myself as I know have two servers which are becoming a bit tedious ssh'ing between to check stuff.
Tried a google search but I am getting back false positive results.
Is this a tool they are using or some scripting they have most likely used?
Thanks
Can you mark something as solution? – davidbaumann – 2015-12-07T20:01:19.757
1Why not get proper monitoring tool specifically for this? Something like Munin. – phoops – 2014-04-08T10:13:02.657
