Xseg is a flexible open-source server monitoring tool.
Xseg is an open source server monitoring tool that is both flexible and versatile. With its ability to be used on Linux servers that run services for the public, it can provide extended server status info to your community. Although currently offering only limited features, it promises users to develop into a comprehensive server monitoring system in the future.
Unlike other tools that run as a daemon or background job, xseg is started by crontab. Installing xseg is simple and straightforward. Users simply need to untar and extract the xseg.0.1.tgz file, then enter the xseg.0.1 directory followed by typing 'make'. The xseg.conf file, which can be edited according to your requirements, provides more information on how to do this.
Once you have edited the xseg.conf file as desired, add xseg to crontab by specifying the frequency of execution. For example: */5 * * * 6. /root/xseg.0.1/xseg -f /root/xseg.0.1/xseg.conf. This will make xseg run every five minutes with the given config file. Don't forget to copy both on.gif and off.gif to the output directory specified in the config file.
In summary, xseg is a software tool that is easy to install and set up. Its flexibility and simple execution make it ideal for monitoring Linux servers that serve the public. While currently falling short on features, it is an open-source project that promises to develop into a complete server monitoring system in the near future.
