Preferred monitoring tool for Linux server running Grails?

[wwwclaes]

Hi, anyone who would like to share their experience with monitoring tools for a Linux server running a Grails app? My focus is primarily on alarms/alerts (via email) rather than fancy graphs. I'd prefer to keep it simple.

I have some experience with Nagios. I have also looked at Hyperic (a couple of years ago) and remember that I liked it's lean towards Java, which might be useful also for Grails.

Thanks,

Claes

I'd give Hyperic Open source edition a try.. they sell an enterprise one that is for larger setups if you need to grow. I found it better for Java/Spring/Grails/Tomcat apps than tools like Zabbix, which are also great for general system health. http://www.springsource.com/landing/hyperic-open-source-download

Even if you don't want fancy graphs, you might try NewRelic :
http://newrelic.com

It is much more than alarms/alert: a full-stack performance monitoring / management platform.
It's really an amazing platform with a fantastic UI/UX.

Thanks for two good suggestions! I will let the list know my conclusions if I proceed with any of these.

Benoit: I had no idea of New Relic, monitoring as a hosted service certainly fulfills the "keep it simple" aspect. Have you tried it with Grails?

We have not use NewRelic with Grails, may be next month if one of our Grails app is ready for production...

But we use it every day with other Java/ColdFusion apps and it's really great to monitor your app performances and pinpoint potential issues (database, external services, client side JS...).

It should work with any Java-based apps.

You can try it for free.

Keep us posted.
