Title: System Monitoring in SME 7.3
Post by: igardiner on February 11, 2008, 06:23:15 AM

Hi All

I was just wondering if there is any performance management/monitoring software for SME 7.3. Recently I have been receiving a message when saving documents or accessing the access database across the network that the system is out of space or out of memory. Since we have over 200GB of free space I am ruling out that we are running out of space.

Our server currently has 4GB RAM and we have about 13 people using it concurrently at one time, the problem is intermittent so I haven't been able to track it down to anything specific. If anybody could point me in some direction that would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

There are two that I am aware of;

1) SME7Admin

2) Sysmon

I have used the first for some time and like it for my soho requirements (it's probably overkill but I do know that my cpu ran around 33 degrees last night while at 100% (during my virus scan), how much ram is being used etc. I have no experience with the second. I know that there has been an update released for the second as there is a thread/post in the forum.

The contribs page is here http://wiki.contribs.org/Category:Contrib

The maintainer of the first is http://sme.firewall-services.com/

Not necessarely so. 
You could be runing out of space in / for various reasons.

Code: [Select]

As root, do:  df -h
It may look like this:
[root@mybox~]# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/main-root
                      182G   80G   94G  46% /
/dev/md1               99M   41M   54M  43% /boot
none                  506M     0  506M   0% /dev/shm


There has been similar reports from time to time on Bugzilla.  Do a search if you have the time, or simply fill a bug report about this issue.  It may be worthwhile investigating.  Provide the output of the command above to start with. Thanks.
