Looks like at least your MySQL server isn't available. What does service mysqld status say? If it's not running, can you start it using service mysqld start (psmon should do this automatically)? Any error messages in the MySQL server log file at /var/log/mysqld.log ? Other general things to check: I...

I found another bug in the new qmail-scanner package: /etc/logrotate.d/qmail-scanner has 'missngok' on line 26. I guess this should be 'missingok'.

I found this because cron sent this:

I see qmail-scanner-2.10-8 has appeared in the atomic channel. # rpm -q qmail-scanner qmail-scanner-2.10-8.el5.art.x86_64 However, the mail headers keep reporting qmail-scanner version 2.08 and indeed in /var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl I find the following lines: my $VERSION="2.08"; ...

If you want the process to be able to 'see' all processes you'd have to run it as root when running the ASL kernel. Of course you'd have to trust the nrsysmond process to not do anything naughty when running as root.

Another bug in the atop package seems to be the log rotation. All atop_* files in /var/log/atop except for the current and the previous one are zero byte and each day an additional .1 postfix is added for each day. # ls -l /var/log/atop total 11156 -rw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 10 04:29 atop.log -rw-...

As which user is nrsysmond running? The ASL kernel only lets a process see processes owned by the same owner (except for root, which is almighty).

ASL reports weak accounts in /var/asl/reports/password.report. I recommend monitoring that file and alerting when it's not an empty file.

The RPM preun scriptlet also seems to have a bug which causes package removal to fail: # yum remove atop Loaded plugins: allowdowngrade, changelog, fastestmirror, merge-conf, security Setting up Remove Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package atop.x86_64 0:2.0.2-2.el...

There is something weird with the atop log rotation again: # ls -l /var/log/atop totaal 6808 -rw------- 1 root root 0 nov 25 04:19 atop_20121121 -rw------- 1 root root 0 nov 25 04:19 atop_20121121.1 -rw------- 1 root root 0 nov 24 04:19 atop_20121121.1.1 -rw------- 1 root root 0 nov 25 04:19 atop_20...

When you update from atop 1.26 to 2.0.x the atop daemon might not start correctly, printing a message like this in /var/log/atop/atop.log about the new file format being different: existing file /var/log/atop/atop_20121125 has incompatible header (created by version 1.26 - current version 2.0) You c...

Atop 2.0.2 is in Atomic now, with a logrotate job. Cool.

atop 1.2.7 and 2.0.2 are available from http://www.atoptool.nl/downloadatop.php as upgrades to atop 1.26 which is currently available in the Atomic repository. Additional related feature requests: * Log rotation for /var/log/atop/atop_* (http://www.atoptool.nl/ says: "By default the daily logfi...

Ah ok, cool.

The update seems to have landed in the ASL repository, but not in Atomic yet.

By the way, I guess it's not really doing more than mysqlcheck --optimize --auto-repair --all-databases, but with a shorter command?

Plesk 11 includes an optional nginx reverse proxy setup: http://download1.parallels.com/Plesk/PP ... /70837.htm Anyone tried this yet with ASL? How much less secure would this be compared to not using the nginx option in Plesk 11?
