Monitoring multiple servers/apps with one shadowd instance

Closed this issue · 2 comments

I'm curious, is it possible to run one instance of shadowd that would monitor multiple servers/apps? Similar to how OSSEC works with agents on multiple servers.

Yes, that is totally possible. If you want to run multiple applications with the same web server you can use environment variables to specify different configuration files for every vhost. Since shadowd is exposed through a TCP port you can connect web applications from anywhere in the world to your instance, though I would not recommend to run shadowd in China if your web application is in the States, latency might get a bit too high.

Since the question is answered I will close this now.
