Monitoring a Fortigate Firewall from Centreon

In this post we will see how to monitor our Fortigate firewalls from a Centreon or Nagios or whatever we have 🙂. We will do it through SNMP queries and we will be able to know the status of its chassis at all times, the status of the cluster if we have one, the use and consumption of network interfaces, if we have VPNs the same, know if they fall, The sessions, etc, etc… if you have a Fortigate, This is your post!

Monitoring a Linux computer with Centreon, example with a Raspberry Pi + Temperature of your CPU

I'm going to put this post because of all the requests I've been receiving on how to monitor a Linux server. As obviously depends on the distribution, today we have an example with a Debian and more specifically we will see it on a Raspberry Pi that carries Raspbian. We'll monitor basic metrics like CPU, RAM, Swap Memory, Disks, Network Traffic, Uptime… And in the end we will see something very interesting!

XenApp 6 – CPU Usage Management & Virtual memory optimization

En este documento veremos dos formas de optimizar nuestras granjas de XenApp mediante un par de directivas de Citrix, la Administración del uso de CPU e implementando la optimización de la memoria virtual. Con la primera administraremos el uso de la CPU donde podremos administrar el % de uso compartido por usuario para evitar que los consumos altos de CPU afecten al resto de usuarios consiguiendo además una mayor capacidad por servidor. Optimizando la memoria virtual mejoraremos el uso compartido de ficheros DLL entre las aplicaciones que se ejecutan, ahorrando ambas memorias (virtual y real).
