Hi,
I just found that one of my centos servers was running at 100% cpu and had used up all the memory.
I checked system monitor and was not able to find the culprit, I restarted the server and it seems fine now.
Does anyone know of a simple way to have the server email me if the cpu load is at max for x amount of time. I am not sure how long it was running like that, I have not checked it for a while.
What would you recommend for something like this
Thanks
Mace

I'd recommend nagios, I'm using it to keep track of quite a few parameters of all my systems. It has email notifications, quite nice visualizations, etc. For a complete feature list see http://www.nagios.org/about For the first time, configuration of nagios is a bit hard, but if you carefully follow the manual, you'll be amazed by the results!
Regards
Michael
