A big deal is the traffic generated by the server monitor (Semonto).

To show you the traffic generated by Semonto, I want to show a part of my logbook (Awstats).

You see it good: 10314 tests = 59.36 KB traffic!
This is about 6-8 bytes per test…

So, the traffic isn’t a big deal!

Semonto? euh? Semonto stands for: Server monitor tool. It is a web-application, running on a Debian server.

Semonto is simply a server monitor, it has 3 kinds of tests.

• Port checks: Simply checks if a port is connectable from the world wide web
• Internal checks: Is the database-server running? Is the load okay?, is the disk full?
• Ping test and the ping-time (min/avg/max – time)

With Semonto, you have an own Admin Panel (SAP: Semonto Admin Panel). With this SAP, you can add/edit hosts and select the tests you want to perform. Every combination is possible. (In the future, you will be able to perform custom tests).

When there is a problem with a server (high ping, database-offine etc), you will receive a mail-message or optionally a SMS-message!

With Semonto, you can also share your current server statistics (useful four your customers). Simply create an alias and provide the URL to your customers. For example: the status page of CodingMammoth.

Please notice that the Semonto GUI is a draft on this moment. I’m busy with finishing the core of Semonto but I’ve released an alfa version so you can monitor your servers right now with Semonto!

I guess that we all know the term ‘presets’.

Presets are a list of items that contains our favorite settings.
You can have for example a setting for your webblog with the settings: Size 500×500px, export file type: JPG quality 90% etc.

Every time that you want to use those settings, you should check if the settings are correct because QuickScale just remember the last used settings… not that smart!

With QuickScale 3.8, you will be able to create a droplet and give it a custom name (for example: ‘Weblog’, ‘Forum’, ‘Avatar community’ etc). Via the menu, you can load a preset with one single mouse-click.

QuickScale 3.8 will be the end of changing the settings!

More information about the release date of QuickScale 3.8 will be soon available.
