- user base trend...
- etc.

9. Idea “Drupal Monitor”
our problem
- 50+ sites
- hosted on different servers
our solution
- we use munin for server monitoring
- “monitoring” on intranet extensions
new wishes
- no graphs, not all metrics we like to have
- new solution -> drupalmonitor.com

10. drupalmonitor.com - what we don’t want
- no server monitoring
- load, traffic, memory, etc.
- no google analytics copy
Saturday, September 3, 11

11. drupalmonitor.com - what we want
- 100% Drupal focus (application level)
- simple solution
- easy to install
- no additional server side software
- just one additional module (no dependencies)
- no configuration
- rrd graphs = data over time
- not just a “ping check”
