SliceMonitor
December 2008
I often find myself logging into my slicemanager just to check if it’s running OK and to view some basic stats such as my bandwidth usage. I used pingdom for a while to notify me about downtime, but since I’m a one man team running it it always received notifications when I knew it was down, so it didn’t really work out for me.
SliceMonitor is a very simple and basic slice monitor that utilizes the Slicehost API to fetch some basic info about your slices such as bandwidth in & out, what IP address(es) it’s running on and what it’s current status is.
The big green indicator to the left turns orange whenever something is going on with the slice so you can quickly spot if something fishy is happening.
Of course, this is no replacement for any monitoring tool out there - it’s just something I felt was missing and threw together one night.
OS X Tiger
For now, only OS X Leopard is supported.
