[125001730010] |<title>Fixing a scanner broken by the Feisty upgrade</title>
[125001730020] |To Fix Scanner Operation broken by an Edgy to Feisty Upgrade
[125001730030] |If you have been using a USB scanner and upgrade from Edgy to Feisty, you may find that your scanner no longer works.
[125001730040] |These notes may help.
[125001730050] |There is a long thread about this check<a> here</a> .
[125001730060] |The problem seems to lie in the usb suspend functions built into Feisty’s new kernel in order to keep laptop users happy.Here are a few tricks taken from the above thread that might get your scanner going again.
[125001730070] |They did for me.
[125001730080] |<strong>SUMMARY</strong>
[125001730090] |0. Download  install scanbuttond using adept or any preferred tool
[125001730100] |At the console …
[125001730110] |1. list usb devices : lsusb 2. run scanbuttond : scanbuttond -r 1000000 3. list available imaging devices : scanimage -L 4.
[125001730120] |Test basic scanner operation : scanimage -T -d 5.
[125001730130] |Test gui scanner operation : xsane
[125001730140] |<strong>DETAIL</strong>
[125001730150] |0. Use adept or whatever tool you prefer to install the “scanbuttond” package.use the following command to install scanbuttond
[125001730160] |sudo aptitude install scanbuttond
[125001730170] |This is a daemon that will poll your scanner to see if any of its buttons have been pressed.
[125001730180] |You don’t need to press a button - your scanner may not even have one.
[125001730190] |The point seems to be that the daemon pokes the scanner at an interval you specify thereby keeping it awake and and able to respond to other programs.
[125001730200] |For more information, see the above thread and/or http://scanbuttond.sourceforge.net/
[125001730210] |1. List the currently known USB devices  check that your scanner is in the list.
[125001730220] |To do this, open a console  enter “lsusb” at the prompt. (without quotes of course).
[125001730230] |Here’s a typical output …
[125001730240] |john@john-desktop:~$ lsusb Bus 005 Device 007: ID 04a9:2206 Canon, Inc. CanoScan N650U/N656U Bus 005 Device 006: ID 0aec:3260 Neodio Technologies Corp. 7-in-1 Card Reader Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 004: ID 046d:c408 Logitech, Inc. Marble Mouse (4-button) Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
[125001730250] |Here we see that a CanoScan N650U is available as device 007 on bus 005.
[125001730260] |These numbers matter and they are tricky because they can change.
[125001730270] |Typically, if you unplug, then reconnect the scanner the device number is likely to change.
[125001730280] |Note the numbers that appear on your own system for use later.
[125001730290] |If your scanner doesn’t appear in the USB devices list, then, sorry, this article won’t help you.
[125001730300] |2.Start the scan button daemon
[125001730310] |Again at the console prompt, enter “scanbuttond -r 1000000″ The number here is the retry (polling) interval in micro-seconds.
[125001730320] |The value shown here is pretty much the consensus that emerged in the discussion thread.
[125001730330] |If you later want to stop the daemon, issue the command “killall scanbuttond”
[125001730340] |3. Check the status of your scanner from the command line - enter “scanimage -L”.
[125001730350] |Scanimage is a command line tool for reading images from scanners and cameras.
[125001730360] |It works through the sane scanner access interface in much the same way as the GUI scanning tools.
[125001730370] |It has a useful manual entry.
[125001730380] |(To see this, as always, enter “man scanimage” at the prompt)
[125001730390] |scanimage -L gives a list of the imaging devices currently available throught the sane interface.
[125001730400] |Here’s a typical output …
[125001730410] |john@john-desktop:~$ scanimage -L device `v4l:/dev/video0′ is a Noname BT878 video (Leadtek WinFast 20 virtual device device `plustek:libusb:005:007′ is a Canon N650U/N656U USB flatbed scanner
[125001730420] |Here we see two available devices, most importantly the Canon scanner in my system.
[125001730430] |Note the device name  syntax for subsequent testing.
[125001730440] |Here it is “plustek:libusb:005:007″.
[125001730450] |This says that the plustek package is working through libusb to device 007 on bus 005.
[125001730460] |Many scanners are run this way but some are not.
[125001730470] |A specific manufacturer, e.g HP, might appear in place of plustek.
[125001730480] |The bus and device numbers should match those obtained previously with the lsusb command
[125001730490] |4. Test operation of the scanner from the command line - enter “scanimage -T -d
[125001730500] |where is the device id show by the previous command, e.g. here we would enter “scanimage -T -d plustek:libusb:005:007″
[125001730510] |If all is well, the scanner should start making operating noises and some pass/fail test results will be shown in the console window.
[125001730520] |A typical example on my system …’
[125001730530] |john@john-desktop:~$ scanimage -T -d plustek:libusb:005:007 scanimage: scanning image of size 202×150 pixels at 24 bits/pixel scanimage: acquiring RGB frame, 8 bits/sample scanimage: reading one scanline, 606 bytes… PASS scanimage: reading one byte… PASS scanimage: stepped read, 2 bytes… PASS scanimage: stepped read, 4 bytes… PASS scanimage: stepped read, 8 bytes… PASS scanimage: stepped read, 16 bytes… PASS scanimage: stepped read, 32 bytes… PASS scanimage: stepped read, 64 bytes… PASS scanimage: stepped read, 128 bytes… PASS scanimage: stepped read, 256 bytes… PASS scanimage: stepped read, 512 bytes… PASS scanimage: stepped read, 1024 bytes… PASS scanimage: stepped read, 1023 bytes… PASS scanimage: stepped read, 511 bytes… PASS scanimage: stepped read, 255 bytes… PASS scanimage: stepped read, 127 bytes… PASS scanimage: stepped read, 63 bytes… PASS scanimage: stepped read, 31 bytes… PASS scanimage: stepped read, 15 bytes… PASS scanimage: stepped read, 7 bytes… PASS scanimage: stepped read, 3 bytes… PASS
[125001730540] |5. Test operation of the scanner with the xsane gui interface or some other scanner program.
[125001730550] |eg enter “xsane” at the console prompt.
[125001730560] |On startup, xsane shows a device selection dialog where you can check that the bus  device numbers match those previously noted.
[125001730570] |Xsane also has a good manual entry (man xsane)
[125001730580] |If xsane runs the scanner successfully, then so should other programs - Gimp, Kooka, OpenOffice etc.
[125001740010] |<title>Audio Preview in Nautilus</title>
[125001740020] |Using this trick, music can be played if the cursor is brought over a music file in Nautilus File Manager.
[125001740030] |You need to install mpg321 vorbis-tools for this<code />
[125001740040] |<strong>mpg321</strong>
[125001740050] |A Free command-line mp3 player, compatible with mpg123mpg321 is a clone of the popular mpg123 command-line mp3 player.
[125001740060] |It should function as a drop-in replacement for mpg123 in many cases.
[125001740070] |While some of the functionality of mpg123 is not yet implemented, mpg321 should function properly in most cases for most people, such as for frontends such as gqmpeg.
[125001740080] |mpg321 is based on the mad MPEG audio decoding library.
[125001740090] |It therefore is highly accurate, and also uses only fixed-point calculation, making it more efficient on machines without a floating-point unit.
[125001740100] |While mpg321 is not as fast as the non-free mpg123 on systems which have a floating point unit, it comes under a fully Free license, which allows greater freedom to its users.
[125001740110] |For most people who want mpg123, mpg321 is a better alternative. <strong>vorbis-tools</strong>
[125001740120] |Several Ogg Vorbis Toolsvorbis-tools contains oggenc (an encoder), ogg123 (a playback tool), ogginfo (displays ogg information), vcut (ogg file splitter), and vorbiscomment (ogg comment editor)
[125001740130] |Issue the following command to Install
[125001740140] |sudo aptitude install mpg321 vorbis-tools
[125001740150] |In KDE, this feature is inbuilt, and can be enabled in Settings.
[125001740160] |It can be turned off in Nautilus preferences under Preview.
[125001750010] |<title>Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) LAMP Server Setup</title>

[125001880020] |Sendmail is a Mail Transfer Agent, which is the program that moves mail from one machine to another.
[125001880030] |Sendmail implements a general internetwork mail routing facility, featuring aliasing and forwarding, automatic routing to network gateways, and flexible configuration.
[125001880040] |You may have found this after installing the sendmail client, you get an error on the following boot as shown in the following pic
[125001880050] |The cause of bug relates to the starting of network interfaces during the /etc/rc0.d/ phase of startup, and the contents of these files are responsible
[125001880060] |/etc/network/if-down.d/sendmail
[125001880070] |and
[125001880080] |/etc/network/if-up.d/sendmail
[125001880090] |These files re-configure sendmail on boot, supposedly only if there’s been changes that require the sendmail config to change, but in reality cause the error that was reported.
[125001880100] |It happens because these files get called when filesystem is read-only, so the newly generated sendmail config files cannot be saved.
[125001880110] |A tempory solution is to remove the 2 files refered to above.
[125001890010] |<title>Dual Booting Windows dan Ubuntu Fiesty (indonesian)</title>
[125001890020] |<em>By: Udienz</em><strong>Intro</strong>Pada blog sebelumnya (<a>PANDUAN MENGINSTALL UBUNTU</a>) kita telah belajar menginstall Ubuntu pada system tunggal dimana hanya terdapat sebuah system, namun di artikel kali ini (karena permintaan teman-teman) saya akan memandu anda untuk meninstall Ubuntu di system yang sudah ada windows XP.
[125001890030] |Sebelum beranjak tolong perhatikan perlengkapanya antara lain:system Windows XPPartition MagicCD Ubuntu Fiesty
[125001890040] |CDROM
[125001890050] |Mata yang jeli, hati yang tenang (thanx buat Allah yang telah menciptakan)
[125001890060] |kopi dan cemilan atau rokok bagi perokok
[125001890070] |dan hal-hal lainya yang tidak bertentangan dengan UUD 45
[125001890080] |Oke, setelah semua terpenuhi, lanjut bro……
[125001890090] |<strong>The Show Must Go On</strong>
[125001890100] |Pertama tama anda harus menginstall Partition Magic atau software sejenis guna memudahkan pemartisian kita.
[125001890110] |Jika sudah buka program tersebut, kalo di kompiku tampilanya kaya gini:
[125001890120] |Ingat bila anda belum mempunyai partisi kosong (gambar hitam) maka segera buat… kalo udah maka buat partisi-partisi Linux dengan cara klik kanan area hitam, hingga muncul seperti gambar dibawah dan pilih crate
[125001890130] |Atur konfigurasi dari partisi tersebut, di asumsikan saya akan membuat beberapa partisi di linux dintaranya:
[125001890140] |/ (root)
[125001890150] |/boot
[125001890160] |/home
[125001890170] |/var
[125001890180] |/tmp
[125001890190] |Swap area
[125001890200] |Maka buatlah seperti gambar di bawah ini
[125001890210] |Gambar diatas untuk partisi /boot
[125001890220] |Gambar diatas untuk swap area
[125001890230] |Gambar diatas untuk / (root)
[125001890240] |Gambar diatas untuk /var
[125001890250] |Gambar diatas untuk /tmp
[125001890260] |Gambar diatas untuk /home, perlu di ingat bahwasanya anda untuk partisinya tidak harus sama seperti di atas dalam artian di Linx kita boleh memberdakan titik mount di setiap partisi yang berbeda, namun sebenarnya Linux hanya membutuhkan partisi swap dan root karena direktory (titik mount) /home, /var, /boot, /tmp secara default akan dijadikan satu dengan root.
[125001890270] |Dan karena saya suka untuk membedakan titik mount di setiap partisi yang berbeda maka konfigurasinya seperti di atas, hal ini saya lakukan karena saya melihatnya dari faktor maintenancenya biar lebih aman untuk memisahkan dokumen (/home) dan file dari yang berubah-ubah (/var) agar kalau system rusak maka tidak akan memberi efek ke partisi yang lain… tapi terserah anda itulah enaknya Linux
[125001890280] |Jika sudah maka illustasi dari partisi hardisk akan nampak sebagai berikut
[125001890290] |Kemudian klik aplly di pojok kiri bawah, atau gambarnya seperti di bawah ini
[125001890300] |Apabila sudah apply sudah di klik maka akan muncul jendela peringatan sebagaimana gambar di bawah ini:
[125001890310] |Gambar diatas menunjukkan bahwa ada 12 oprasi yang akan di lakukan, apabila anda sudah mantap dengan konfigurasi partisi yang telah kita konfogurasi tadi maka klik yes untuk melakukan penulisan partisi ke harddisk, kemudian akan muncul akan gambar di bawah ini dan jangan di ganggu.
[125001890320] |Tunggu ya… sabar ya… minum dulu kopinya
[125001890330] |Kalau jendela progress menunjukkan gambar diatas maka proses penulisan sudah selesai dan siap untuk di install ubuntu.
[125001890340] |Keluarlah dari windows xp dan restart komputer anda
[125001890350] |The Freedom is come
[125001890360] |Selamat, anda telah membuat harddisk anda layak pakai
[125001890370] |Sebelum meng-install Ubuntu pada BIOS harus di set Boot Device Priority-nya dulu, dalam menginstall Ubuntu Boot Device Priority harus di arahkan ke CDROM.
[125001890380] |Untuk masuk ke BIOS tiap Motherboard mempunyai standart sendiri.
[125001890390] |Namun sebagian besar tinggal menekan tombol delete atau F2
[125001890400] |Kemudian simpan konfigurasinya
[125001890410] |Kemudian reboot ulang, dan kalau anda berhasil megkonfigurasikan BIOS dengan benar maka sysem akan membooting via CDROM sehingga tampilan awal dari Ubuntu adalah sebagai berikut
[125001890420] |Tampilan yang ramah ini berbeda dengan tampilan Ubuntu sebelumnya dimana ada tambahan pada edisi kali ini yaitu Install with driver Update CD.
[125001890430] |Perlu diketahui anda dapat memilih bahasa inggris pada tampilan ini ke Bahasa Indonesia.
[125001890440] |Namun kalau saya biarkan saja, menurut s’to dalam buku Fedora Core nya alasan s’to memilih Bahasa Inggris karena “teknologi datang dengan bahasa inggris”.
[125001890450] |Oke ini adalah tampilan desktop Ubuntu Fiesty yang baru…..!!!!
[125001890460] |Untuk menginstall klik install hingga tampilan desktop seperti di bawah ini
[125001890470] |Pilih bahasa yang anda gunakan, kalo saya bahasa inggris sajalah….. and then clik forward
[125001890480] |Oke pilih zona waktu kita, kita gunakan Jakarta saja
[125001890490] |Pilih keyboard anda, keyboard yang ada di Indonesia kebanyakan adalan US English
[125001890500] |Lha ini yang paling sulit…… sabar ya… tunggu ya…
[125001890510] |Pada tampilan kali ini kita di pilih untuk menentukan mount pointnya dan pilihan-pilihan yang lain, hati-hati banyak yang keliru dalam hal ini yang menyebabkan data system windows rusak.
[125001890520] |Kita lihat bahwasanya partisi windows di /dev/hda1 telah termount di /media/hda1 jangan beri tanda check format!!!
[125001890530] |Oke pilih /dev/hda5 dan pilih edit
[125001890540] |Ada tiga baris yaitu New partition (sebaiknya jangan dirubah), Use as, Mount point.
[125001890550] |Untuk partisi ini saya memberikanya ke /boot.
[125001890560] |Dan lakukan untuk partisi yang lainya sama seperti langkah diatas hingga tampilanya aka muncul sebagai berikut
[125001890570] |Oke klik fordward
[125001890580] |Inilah kelebihan Ubuntu Fiesty, kita dapat mengimpor dokumen, settingan pada user kita di Windows.
[125001890590] |Pilih settingan yang akan di expor dan isikan usernya serta klik next
[125001890600] |Isikan lagi username secara detail dan passwordnya dan nama host komputer anda dan klik fordward
[125001890610] |Inilah hasil konfigurasi kita tadi, bila anda sudah yakin 100% klik install (Konfigurasi kali ini kita tidak mengganggu windows xp kita tadim jadi jangan kawatir data kita safe)
[125001890620] |Bila muncul tampilan desktop kaya gini maka instalasi telah usai dan untuk mencicipi hasil racikan kita kita diminta Restart System kita……
[125001890630] |Dan kalo udah maka anda akan log-in dengan user yang telah kita buat tadi, <strong>SELAMAT DATANG DI DUNIA OPEN SOURCE</strong>, <em>mari kita sharing Ilmu</em>!!!!!!

[125001900010] |<title>Sharing Internet Connection in Ubuntu</title>
[125001900020] |Setting up a computer to share its internet connection should be easy.After all, you’ve successfully networked your computers together and even shared files with all your home computers, so why not the Internet?
[125001900030] |Well if you have a small home network of computers all connected and have tried to open up a browser, you’ve probably found out that things aren’t quite as straight forward as connecting one machine with an Ethernet cable to the computer that has the DSL/cable modem.
[125001900040] |The secret is that everything comes down to having a gateway.
[125001900050] |A gateway is a computer or device than can route data between different networks.
[125001900060] |Put it this way, if your computers are on one network and every other computer connected to the Internet is on a different one, to pass information across network boundaries you need a device which is connected to both networks and equipped to decide whether information from one network should go out to the other network, and vice versa.
[125001900070] |So, without a gateway there is no way for the other computers in your network to receive or pass information to the other networks, and consequently, they have no Internet access.
[125001900080] |The computer in your small network which is directly connected to the cable or DSL modem is provided with a default gateway by the Internet service provider.
[125001900090] |That allows the computer to connect to the interenet, but unfortunately for us that gateway is not part of your home network - rather it is a separate network formed between the computer connected to the cable/DSL modem and the ISP itself.
[125001900100] |In order to enable Internet access on the rest of your small home network, the computer or device that connects with your ISP must become a gateway for the computers in your local home network.
[125001900110] |Once this has been configured, it will enable all of the other home network computers to access the Internet by sending and receiving information through that gateway.
[125001900120] |The easiest way of acquiring a gateway for your home network is to buy a cable/DSL router.
[125001900130] |Given how cheap they currently are (about a quarter of the price they commanded when they first appeared in the marketplace), there really isn’t much of an excuse not to buy one.
[125001900140] |The major advantages of having a hardware router doing your internet sharing include minimal configuration, since they are set up to act as a gateway by default (it’s pretty much all they do), increased reliability (they are not a PC… PCs crash.), and security, since most of these devices incorporate a firewall.
[125001900150] |Highly recommended!
[125001900160] |You’ll also need
[125001900170] |a working dial-up Internet account with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or
[125001900180] |a working broadband (cable, DSL, satellite, etc.) Internet connection.
[125001900190] |Share your Internet connection using the following Procedure
[125001900200] |Note: Type all the following commands in a root terminal
[125001900210] |Start by configuring the network card that interfaces to the other computers on you network
[125001900220] |# ifconfig ethX ip
[125001900230] |where ethX is the network card and ip is your desired server ip address (Usually 192.168.0.1 is used)
[125001900240] |Then configure the NAT as follows
[125001900250] |# iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ethX -j MASQUERADE
[125001900260] |where ethX is the network card that the Internet is coming from
[125001900270] |# echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
[125001900280] |Install dnsmasq and ipmasq using the following command
[125001900290] |# apt-get install dnsmasq ipmasq
[125001900300] |Restart dnsmasq using the following command
[125001900310] |# /etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart
[125001900320] |Reconfigure ipmasq to start after networking has been started
[125001900330] |# dpkg-reconfigure ipmasq
[125001900340] |Start by configuring the network card that interfaces to the other computers on you network
[125001900350] |# ifconfig ethX ip
[125001900360] |where ethX is the network card and ip is your desired server ip address (Usually 192.168.0.1 is used)
[125001900370] |Then configure the NAT as follows
[125001900380] |# iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ethX -j MASQUERADE
[125001900390] |where ethX is the network card that the Internet is coming from
[125001900400] |# echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
[125001900410] |Add the line “net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1″ to /etc/sysctl.conf
[125001900420] |# gedit /etc/sysctl.conf
[125001900430] |Reboot your system is optional.

[125001930020] |show the number of reboots before next forced fsck.This package displays during startup and halt the number of mounts for each ext2/3 partition before an fsck will be forced, so that the user will not be suprised.Very useful for people that often reboot (laptop users for example).
[125001930030] |<strong>What is Fsck ?</strong>
[125001930040] |The system utility fsck (for “file system check” or “file system consistency check”) is a tool for checking the consistency of a file system in the Unix system and clones thereof.
[125001930050] |Generally, fsck is run automatically at boot time when the system detects that a file system is in an inconsistent state, indicating a non-graceful shutdown, such as a crash or power loss.
[125001930060] |Typically, fsck utilities provide options for interactively repairing damaged file systems (the user must decide how to fix specific problems), allowing fsck to decide how to fix specific problems (so the user doesn’t have to answer any questions), or reviewing the problems that need to be resolved on a file system without actually fixing them.
[125001930070] |<strong>Install showfsck in Ubuntu</strong>
[125001930080] |sudo apt-get install showfsck
[125001930090] |This will complete the installation
[125001930100] |<strong>Using showfsck</strong>
[125001930110] |If you want to see the number of reboots before next forced fsck using the following command
[125001930120] |showfsck
[125001930130] |output looks similar to the following
[125001930140] |15/30 mount(s) until fsck for /dev/disk/by-uuid/edadb298-aae6-4549-b5dc-55c6184fdbc4

[125002010010] |<title>Install Xine Multimedia Player in Ubuntu</title>
[125002010020] |xine is a free (gpl-licensed) high-performance, portable and reusable multimedia playback engine. xine itself is a shared library with an easy to use, yet powerful API which is used by many applications for smooth video playback and video processing purposes.
[125002010030] |<strong>Xine Features</strong>
[125002010040] |<strong>Xine-engine</strong> -The core of xine is responsible for synchronizing audio, video and overlays.
[125002010050] |It provides high performance comunication functionality between modules, logging capability, unified configuration system, On Screen Display support, fast MMX/MMXEXT/SSE memory transfers, among other important things.
[125002010060] |<strong>Input plugins</strong> - They provide input data to xine and may be seen as an abstraction layer for DVDs, files, http, pipes, VCDs so that the rest of xine does not need to know from where the data is coming.
[125002010070] |Several input plugins for xine are already available over the internet from third party programmers.
[125002010080] |<strong>Demuxer plugins</strong> - These plugins are responsible for understanding file formats like AVI, MOV, ASF and others.
[125002010090] |These file formats don’t define how video and audio are encoded but how the encoded data is mixed together (multiplexed).
[125002010100] |An AVI file, for example, may have DivX4 video and MP3 audio, MPEG2 video and AC3 audio, etc.
[125002010110] |<strong>Decoder plugins</strong> - These plugins receive the encoded data (video, audio or subtitles) and deliver them uncompressed to the engine to be played or shown.
[125002010120] |Examples of encoding formats (also called “codecs”) are MPEG2, MP3, Ogg Vorbis and Windows Media Video 7/8/9.
[125002010130] |<strong>Output plugins</strong> - xine runs on a wide variety of hardware and operating systems therefore it need to have different means of displaying video and audio.
[125002010140] |These plugins are like drivers, they talk directly to the system so xine-engine does not need to handle the details.
[125002010150] |Some video output plugins have been developed to utilize several hardware capabilities like color conversion, scaling and refresh sync to provide the best multimedia experience and at the same time, requiring less CPU processing.
[125002010160] |<strong>Post effect plugins</strong> - These can be use to apply arbitrary effects to video and audio before they are sent to output.
[125002010170] |Examples include visual plugins like GOOM (generates colorful images from the music being played), audio filters like echo, equalizer or even a video picture-in-picture plugin playing more than one stream at the same time.
[125002010180] |<strong>Install Xine Multimedia Player in Ubuntu</strong>
[125002010190] |If you want to install Xine Multimedia Player in Ubuntu use the following command

[125002040280] |<strong>Install Monit in Ubuntu</strong>
[125002040290] |sudo apt-get install monit
[125002040300] |This will complete the installation.
[125002040310] |<strong>Configuring Monit</strong>
[125002040320] |Default configuration file located at /etc/monit/monitrc you need to edit this file to configure your options
[125002040330] |sudo vi /etc/monit/monitrc
[125002040340] |Sample Configuration file as follows and uncomment all the following options
[125002040350] |## Start monit in background (run as daemon) and check the services at 2-minute ## intervals. # set daemon 120
[125002040360] |## Set syslog logging with the ‘daemon’ facility.
[125002040370] |If the FACILITY option is ## omited, monit will use ‘user’ facility by default.
[125002040380] |You can specify the ## path to the file for monit native logging. # set logfile syslog facility log_daemon
[125002040390] |## Set list of mailservers for alert delivery.
[125002040400] |Multiple servers may be ## specified using comma separator.
[125002040410] |By default monit uses port 25 - it is ## possible to override it with the PORT option. # set mailserver localhost # primary mailserver
[125002040420] |## Monit by default uses the following alert mail format:
[125002040430] |From: monit@$HOST # sender Subject: monit alert -- $EVENT $SERVICE # subject
[125002040440] |$EVENT Service $SERVICE
[125002040450] |Date: $DATE Action: $ACTION Host: $HOST # body Description: $DESCRIPTION
[125002040460] |Your faithful, monit
[125002040470] |## You can override the alert message format or its parts such as subject ## or sender using the MAIL-FORMAT statement.
[125002040480] |Macros such as $DATE, etc. ## are expanded on runtime.
[125002040490] |For example to override the sender: # set mail-format { from: monit@monitorserver.com }
[125002040500] |## Monit has an embedded webserver, which can be used to view the ## configuration, actual services parameters or manage the services using the ## web interface. # set httpd port 2812 and use address localhost # only accept connection from localhost allow localhost # allow localhost to connect to the server and allow 172.29.5.0/255.255.255.0 allow admin:monit # require user ‘admin’ with password ‘monit’
[125002040510] |===> Change 172.29.5.0/255.255.255.0 to your network ip range
[125002040520] |# Monitoring the apache2 web services. # It will check process apache2 with given pid file. # If process name or pidfile path is wrong then monit will # give the error of failed. tough apache2 is running. check process apache2 with pidfile /var/run/apache2.pid
[125002040530] |#Below is actions taken by monit when service got stuck. start program = “/etc/init.d/apache2 start” stop program = “/etc/init.d/apache2 stop” # Admin will notify by mail if below of the condition satisfied. if cpu is greater than 60% for 2 cycles then alert if cpu >80% for 5 cycles then restart if totalmem >200.0 MB for 5 cycles then restart if children >250 then restart if loadavg(5min) greater than 10 for 8 cycles then stop if 3 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout group server
[125002040540] |#Monitoring Mysql Service
[125002040550] |check process mysql with pidfile /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid group database start program = “/etc/init.d/mysql start” stop program = “/etc/init.d/mysql stop” if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 3306 then restart if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout
[125002040560] |#Monitoring ssh Service
[125002040570] |check process sshd with pidfile /var/run/sshd.pid start program “/etc/init.d/ssh start” stop program “/etc/init.d/ssh stop” if failed port 22 protocol ssh then restart if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout
[125002040580] |You can also include other configuration files via include directives:
[125002040590] |include /etc/monit/default.monitrc include /etc/monit/mysql.monitrc
[125002040600] |This is only sample configuration file.
[125002040610] |The configuration file is pretty self-explaining; if you are unsure about an option, take a look at the monit <a>documentation</a>
[125002040620] |After configuring your monit file you can check the configuration file syntax using the following command
[125002040630] |sudo monit -t
[125002040640] |Once you don’t have any syntax errors you need to enable this service by changing the file /etc/default/monit
[125002040650] |sudo vi /etc/default/monit
[125002040660] |# You must set this variable to for monit to start startup=0
[125002040670] |to
[125002040680] |# You must set this variable to for monit to start startup=1
[125002040690] |Now you need to start the service using the following command
[125002040700] |sudo /etc/init.d/monit start
[125002040710] |<strong>Monit Web interface</strong>
[125002040720] |Monit Web interface will run on the port number 2812.If you have any firewall in your network setup you need to enable this port.
[125002040730] |Now point your browser to http://yourserverip:2812/ (make sure port 2812 isn’t blocked by your firewall), log in with admin and monit.If you want a secure login you can use https check <a>here</a>
[125002040740] |Once it opens you should see the following screen
[125002040750] |Here you need to enter the username and password
[125002040760] |Once it opens you should see the following screen with all the services we are monitoring
[125002040770] |<img/>Apache web server process details
[125002040780] |You can start,stop,restart and disable this service from web interface you can see this in the following screen
[125002040790] |<img/>After being done with the <a>actual tests</a>, most of the <a>70-294</a> and <a>70-647</a> professionals can monitor ubuntu services.
[125002040800] |Although a simple <a>70-293</a> candidate might find it hard at first but later certifications like <a>640-863</a> add experience too.
