What's beanmonitor?[edit]

Beanmonitor is a software specifically developed to monitor the /proc/user_beancounters file for an increase in failcount. It provides an easily configurable way of notifying administrators both on a per-container and system-wide basis. Additionally, beanmonitor is released under the MIT License enabling you to use it in about any way imaginable.

Features[edit]

  • Check for beancounters with a change in fail count on a per-call basis when running beanmonitor
  • Notify administrators on a per-vps or system-wide basis whenever a change in fail counts happens
  • Highly configurable via command line interface to configuration file
  • Single executable script, binary for x86, single file for all systems with ruby preinstalled
