Dear all,

i can believe that there is no monitoring tool for catalyst-application
in production.

I've a catalyst app in production as external fastcgi since 8 years, the only one time it had troubles was for a disk failure.

Anyway you can have application testing script, you can run them to check if the application is still in a working state.

My opinion is:
1) use system monitor like nagios and such to verify that your system is up and running 2) use nagios to test if your database is up and running, accepting new connections.
3) test with nagios if your app is still answering via http
4) run application level test as many time you want (daily or weekly)
and at least each time you upgrade system or application.
Application level tests are for business logic, for features, for security.
5) improve and refine application level test each time you have a bug report

I really don't see any need of better monitoring tool.


Bye,         \ferz
