Support PHP CLI
I think is common have "cronjob" for PHP and use the PHP without web. In this case the Site24x7 is useless, the Site24x7 not support the PHP CLI. If run a PHP using, for example: php /path/to/file.php This will not be detect by Site24x7!
Maintain APM history after agent move
I recently had to replace a server that had the APM agent running. I've installed the agent on the new server, but I have now lost all the history associated with the previous agent. How do you maintain this from server to server?
Availability Dashboard
Currently there are a few dashboard that can be created. Something that we are finding needed and not available (as far as I have looked) is an availability dashboard.. Would be nice to have a dashboard that shows Monitor Name - Status - Availability % With intervals of 1, 5, 15, 30, 60 minute intervals as options. A table would work ... But I think that buttons would look way nicer and allow full page use... Edit: Changed reports to dashboard
Security Monitoring for failed ACL/Firewall Rule
Looking for an inverse monitor that I can point to a particular host/IP and be alerted when a successful connection is made. This will allow me to alert if an ACL/Firewall has failed and the service is open to the internet.
Clearer API Output
Currently when we Activate or Suspend a check via the api we get the following response: HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type:application/json;charset=UTF-8
{
"code": 0,
"message": "success",
} It would be nice to be able to get the check name in the response so we know which ones are successful and which ones fail, something like this: HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type:application/json;charset=UTF-8
{
"code": 0, "name": "Website Name" "message": "success",
}
Monitor Status on Performance Threshold breach
Option to configure "Down" severity for performance threshold breach has been dropped. Performance threshold breaches will be reported as Trouble Status only. Kindly share your feedback regarding this.
Memory usage on FreeBSD
Hey there, we just configured the server monitoring on our FreeBSD server. But the agent reports there is a memory usage of always above 85%. We have 8 GB of RAM / memory installed on the server. Right now we are using Zabbix also on the server. Zabbix shows us a usage of roughly < 50% of the memory. Why is there such a big difference? Why is Site24x7 reporting such a high usage? The command "top" on our server shows us right now the data like this "Mem: 1098M Active, 4204M Inact, 2189M Wired, 4376K
Web RUM filter; allow exclusion/inclusion of pages/domains
We've several sub-domains accessed from our main site and the way we have to include the RUM client causes some of these sub-domains to be monitored. Some of these domains, or specific pages within the domain, we do not want to monitor. Some or parts of these domains, that we do not want to monitor, are consuming RUM page views. It would be great if we could exclude some of these sub-domains from being monitored by RUM. Having a central storage of exclusions/inclusion would be better than making
Three key metrics for monitoring AWS SNS performance and usage.
Well if you have already read our blog on important ELB metrics to monitor, you will know that, along with ELB another AWS service Simple Notification Service (SNS) was also added to our monitoring capabilities. This post will talk about the importance of your SNS environment and metrics you should consider monitoring. Communication is necessary to maintain operational efficiency in your AWS cloud infrastructure. Your application's ability to interact with and transmit data to other aspects of AWS
Deploy Custom Monitoring Script on Site24x7 probes (no LinuxAgent needed)
A feature I miss and prevents us from migrating some stuff over from alertra.com is the ability to deploy a custom (bash/python/perl) script to the monitoring probes of Site24x7. This would allow us to monitor seldom services like EPP or to implement more complex transactions to get an exhaustive monitoring of a REST-service, node.js-Thingie etc. I don't want to use a LinuxAgent, since this would require me to deploy my own probes in the cloud to get an outside view on things.
Add "Swap Utilization threshold" for Server Monitor
Please add "Swap Utilization Threshold" to the server monitor. (Configuration Profile -> Threshold and Availability -> Server monitor type) The product does a great job charting/graphing swap utilization, but does not let me trigger alarms for high swap utilization. We presently have a production issue where swap utilization is growing (free swap is dropping). We can't figure out how to make site24x7 alert us to this issue at 90% swap utilized, so we kindly ask for this new feature to be considered.
Key AWS Elastic Load Balancer metrics you need to monitor

Line Break in email template
I'd like to be able to include a line break in my email template. This would enable me to provide customized, and readable, instructions to the help desk technicians.

Never Give Up: Introducing Custom Instrumentation for APM Insight .NET agent
There is no excellence without persistence and it holds true for every developer. In continuation to my previous musings as a developer, I am delighted to share another such incident. When I had joined the company, the Java agent was already in the final stages of development. My interview was kick-started by the then team lead who wasn't an expert in the space of .NET, the exact technology for which I was being recruited for. After having to face some clichéd interview questions initially, my interview
Plugin questions
When creating a plugin, is there a way to control how the metrics will be visualized on the Web UI? For example, let's say I want to capture 5 different metrics that in the real world total up to 100 or 100%. I'd like to be able to put all 5 of those metrics on the same chart and have the values stacked. Can I do this now? Second, is there a way to tell the web-ui that I want a particular custom metric to only ever display the very last captured value? Finally, is there a way to submit non-numeric
Error while recording - Real Browser

Alert only when all locations reporting response time above threshold
I'm being inundated with alerts because one or two sites are above a threshold for response time. I'd like to change it so that ALL sites must be over a threshold. I prefer this because if one or two out of eight sites are reaching my site slowly, but all others are just fine, there is likely little I can do, as it is probably caused by circumstances beyond my control. Is there a way to do this? Thanks!
Alert improvement/enhancement
Hi Site24x7, Is it possible to add a dynamic URL's when creating a new monitoring test? The dynamic URL can contain a link to a knowledge base/website. When a test fails an alert email is received. This email will contain a link (Dynamic URL) to the knowledge base/website. So people can quickly navigate to a website where a procedure is written how to solve the alert/problem. Best regards Robert Pavlovic Ingenico ePayments
Apache plugin
I have the plugin installed, but not running. Inside /opt/site24x7/monagent/plugins/apache, The apache.py has 'Username' & 'Password'. Shall i enter credentials for root here?

Site24x7 Customer Support is Experiencing a Slowdown.
Dear Site24x7 Customers, We believe some of you may have experienced a delay in customer service support over the last 24 hours or so. As you are aware, the customer service operations was disrupted due to the severe cyclone Vardah, which hit Chennai on the 12th of December'2016. We are slowly catching up on the support backlogs, though mobile networks remain weak. We apologize for any delay in responding to the support calls, chats or emails during this period. Please bear with us till we regain
Finding my needle in a haystack
Hi, We have a fairly busy setup - 811 individual monitors in maybe 50+ monitoring groups. A few weeks ago, we installed the agent on four servers. We failed to put them in the correct monitoring group, and now I can't find them! Or rather, it could be any of a horde of monitors, all with very similar hostnames. Is there a way to easily search for a monitor based on an AWS tag, it's host name? Is there anything on the server itself in the /opt/site24x7/monagent/conf that would tell me where in the
Has anybody in the community built their own plugin yet?
I'm new to the Site24x7 community. I have recently started to get our all of our infrastructure configured to be monitored by Site24x7. Some of the things I need to be monitored for our environment will require that I create some custom plugins. I have no technical issues with this from a development perspective -- I will be deploying on Windows OS using the DLL method. What I see from the limited exposure I have had with Site24x7's plugin framework is that it seems to be somewhat lacking. Would
Maintenance reoccuring every month
Hello, we have an IT infrastructure maintenance every month on the same Saturday (or weekend). So with the available options I have to enter that maintenance day every month again as the frequency only allows: ( ) Once ( ) Daily ( ) Weekly My questions to Site24x7 is would it be possible to include "Monthly" into the maintenance selection? But I am also interested if other Site24x7 forum users would like to have this option of monthly maintenance available. Could you reply and let us know your opinion?
New Status Page layout
I like the new layout of the status pages however, there are a few things that would make them even better... 1.) Custom logo per page. Some companies have different departments/sub companies and it would be nice to be able to create branding to match the type or checks or business sector they will be representing. 2.) For the Incident History, it would be better to have those in smaller blocks of color with the date and number of issues if there are any: Red = Services were down -> Click to see
Featured request: Deacativate ICMP Ping in RCA reports
Hello team, because of firewall and sequrity reasons our servers does not allow ping request. It would be nice if we could have the possiblity to deactivate the "ping analysis" inside the root clause analysis reports. Problem is if monitor is identified as down, RCA report will be generated and try to get ping information from our servers. This will fail for sequrity reason and will result into "false" values inside the RCA report. The ping analysis will always fail. It would be nice if we could
Pie Charts in Reports.
Hi, We've noticed that since September you no longer include Pie Charts in the reporting. We used to find these very useful for displaying availability of the monitored service. Is there any plans to reintroduce the pie charts or is there a workaround that we could use? Many thanks, Sheldon Jolly Ingenico ePayments.

Monitoring any AWS CloudWatch metric
Hi, today there is monitoring of specific EC2 metrics, specific RDS metrics, and specific S3 metrics. It would be helpful to monitor generic AWS CloudWatch metrics. For example, we're monitoring CloudFront, SNS, Billing, and some user-generated metrics. Thanks! Erez
Restart FTP service
Hello Forum, I'm monitoring an FTP server on a windows server. I'm using the Site24x7 FTP RTT monitor. I do not have a web server running on this box, however I would like to restart the FTP service when a threshold is met. Is there a way to do this via an execute action? Many thanks for any advice you can give. Regards Peter
Missing monitors within Status Page
I've created a new Status Page and selected several monitors. However when I view the status page only some of the monitors are displayed. I've tried removing/adding the monitors and also recreating the monitors, however they still don't show up in the Status Page. Can you please offer some advice? Thanks
Zombie Processes - CentOS
About 5 seconds after startup, the Site24x7 agent creates 40+ zombie processes, and then the system takes care of them eventually. This happens sporadically, and seems to correlate to when polls run, and happens until the agent is shut down. This is causing issues with process warning alerts, as the alerts happen repeatedly. Please take a look and let us know if there is a bugfix.
