A newly developed subsystem connects with the ALDIS data center to display live lightning data in very short time frames. Several tools are used to detect mobile devices and display an optimized version to them. iPhone, iPod touch or iPad users can use ALDIS mobile as a webapp.

This is a simple shell script designed and written for a web-, database and mailserver (apache, mysql, postfix) that uses rsync to make incremental and fast backups. I use it on different servers and have extended it over the years.

Key features:

• Incremental backups of the given directories
• Set a unlimited amount of directories to backup
• Keep a defined number of old backups
• MySQL backups (each table in one file, one folder for each database)
• Optional upload of the last backup on an external FTP server (compression can be set)
• Monitoring of free disk space on the backup target hard disk and FTP server
• Mail notification if a limit is reached

The requirements:

• rSync (on the local machine)
• ext3 filesystem (supporting hard links)
• lftp (a command line ftp client)
• ncftpput (to upload backups on an external ftp storage system)
• tar
• mysqldump

Both ftp tools are optional – if you don’t want to upload the last backup to an external ftp server (in addition to the local copy), you can deactivate all ftp commands in the script.

The shell script is well commented and you can set a lot of variables. Read all the comments and understand the code, so you know what it does! It is released to the public under the GPLv3 so it comes without any warranty.

There are many tools to check your server’s availability, so Server Density is not a standard tool that just tells you “hey, your server is offline” – it’s a small script running on the server that reports the server’s health status every minute. So what you get is a detailed list of performance parameters (every singe process running, memory usage, apache information, …) for every snapshot it takes.

Server Density is available as a payed service – but they also offer a free version with less parameters recorded (and “only” for one month).

I’m using Server Density to monitor one of my servers but planning to implement it on some others too. It’s a perfect tool to analyze high load situations. You just click on the according time in the graph and you get the whole list of collected data for this snapshot.

P.s.: No, I don’t get anything for this – I really like this service and because we used it over a long period of time for free it’s just fair to help them gain some popularity.
