RRAS Monitor deployed in Cloud
Friday, September 11th, 2009Monitoring Updated
Friday, September 4th, 2009I’ve added few small yet great additions to RRAS monitor:
- fixes to the charts – now they look better and aligned correctly
- created email notification system that sends out emails to one or many people if a service breaks or is fixed
- few CSS corrections for the layout
Please don’t forget to configure your email settings in config/initializers/mail.rb before using e-mail feature.
Enjoy!
Monitoring

Working with one of the projects I’ve had very unpleasant experience trying to figure out which one of a little over 10 services is not working.
I didn’t want to go out an look for solution since recently I’ve done similar research and wasn’t amazed by any solutions out there. Some of them cost money too. So I went ahead and wrote my own monitor system in Rails. 1 day of work I got it working – very extensible and also fits my choice of technologies for best fit with RRAS.
515 lines of code and it went in “production” (I deployed and set it up on the server).
RRAS Blog Started
Saturday, February 21st, 2009I’ve started this blog to show some progress on Ruby application server development. Right now I am planning to develop it in my spare time so the progress mostly on the weekends.
Few major goals I am going to be aiming for.
1) Easy mesh-ups
Building Ruby on Rails web sites I noticed that something it is difficult to mesh projects up – say take a forum (Beast or RForum) , glue it to your own application and then for example add Radiant or another CMS. It is very frustrating since the software is there for you but you can’t just say “I want Beast and Radiant to work together with my application”. So one of the main goals is going to provide that easiness.
