Preferably something involving with CPU load, apache stats > and MySQL stats. All examples are welcome though :) Have a look at rrdtutorial (in a man/ directory near you), its' fairly well written. I knocked together some simple scripts to monitor some appservers (disk,cpu,process count etc) but they get unwieldy very quickly - just a few boxes and it started to get out of hand. If you're going to be doing any gathering/graphing for this kind of thing, have a look at cricket (ports/net-mgmt/cricket) - it makes using RRD a breeze (though I would still read the tutorial at least, it does help to have a rough understanding of the backend). Favours SNMP, but you can use any script you like easily enough (I have a ruby-ldap based version that pulls stats directly from openldap, and it took an hour to get it graphing). -- 'In the beginning the Universe was created.
