Server-Managing-Tools

Some tools that I've created to monitor / manage my server

LGSM-Manager

LGSM-Manager is a Python script that update a mysql table with servers status (checked by the Python script).
There is a PHP script that creates a table with all the servers and their respective status.

Config file setup

You can add as many servers as you want in the configuration file, just follow this syntax :

I'll take apache for example

[apache1]
name=Apache HTTP
port=80
url=http://localhost
in_maintain=0

[apache2]
name=Apache HTTPs
port=443
url=https://localhost
in_maintain=0

Options Available

'name' : An option to set the nice name of a server
'port' : The port (TCP) used by the server
'url' : Option to specify an url to connect to the server (is usefull to srcds servers eg: steam://connect/ )
'in_maintain' : If the server is in maintain then, set it to '1'

PHP script setup

Don't forget to change your options for the database in the 'monitoring.php' file.

Two ways to set it up :

Create a symbolic link to your web folder (ln -s /path/to/source /path/to/destination)
Just copy the script in your web folder :p

Crontab setup

You need to run the Python script every time you want to check the servers status, uh too boring.
On a linux terminal run :

apt update
apt install cron

Cron is now installed, let's configure it :p
Avoid editing the crontab of root

crontab -e #-> Edit the crontab for the current user

Add this line to your crontab file

* * * * * /path/to/lgsm_monitoring.py

It will run the script every minute
