I want to monitor and profile PHP based system. For profiling I will use xdebug. My question is whether I can use Nagios for monitoring ? Also, if the answer is yes, does anyone have experience with this configuration ?

    You just want to know if anyone has experience with Nagios? Because the answer would simply be 'yes'. If you need some specific questions answered you should ask them. – Repox Nov 29 '11 at 20:21

  • my main question is about the combination of Nagios with PHP. Does it common ? Does it acceptable ? – amitp Nov 30 '11 at 06:29
  • What do you mean? Write Nagios frontends in PHP? Execute PHP by Nagios to test if it is running? You need to be more specific to actually formulate a question at all. Normally you test daemons with nagios, not if a specific application can execute, like PHP. However you can test if the PHP FCGI daemon is still running for example, or the webserver. – hakre Nov 30 '11 at 07:45
  • let me explain. I have a server that running e-learning software based on moodle. The application is writing in PHP. I want to know whether I can monitor it with Nagios. By monitoring I mean, see whether it is alive. whether request average time remain stable, whether they are MySQL problems etc. etc. – amitp Nov 30 '11 at 08:49
  • That is exactly what Nagios is for, yes ([Nagios is the industry standard in IT infrastructure monitoring](http://www.nagios.org/) for a reason). – hakre Nov 30 '11 at 10:32
