  • Should EC2 server self register or have admin server

    - by hortitude
    I'm creating AWS servers using chef. I am also planning on enabling auto-scaling. While we have automatic monitoring setup already (server density or nagios etc), I was also going to setup the cloud watch alarm for the status check on the server. This led me down the path of trying to decide whether to install the ec2-command-line tools on the server itself (which then requires me to install java on the servers -- despite no other need for Java in our environment) or to possible have an "admin" box that will check periodically for servers and make sure they have their alarms set. I expect this paradigm to carry over to other things we want to configure (perhaps ensuring that termination protection is setup on production servers?). Any thoughts as to why to go one direction or another?

  • ephemeral vs EBS partitions

    - by hortitude
    I launched an EBS backed AMI with all the defaults. I noticed that it automicatlly had attached an ephemeral disk. I was just wondering if there was a good programtic way to know that this particular device is ephemeral vs some EBS volume I had decided to attach: ubuntu@-----:~$ df -ahT Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/xvda1 ext4 7.9G 867M 6.7G 12% / proc proc 0 0 0 - /proc sysfs sysfs 0 0 0 - /sys none fusectl 0 0 0 - /sys/fs/fuse/connections none debugfs 0 0 0 - /sys/kernel/debug none securityfs 0 0 0 - /sys/kernel/security udev devtmpfs 1.9G 12K 1.9G 1% /dev devpts devpts 0 0 0 - /dev/pts tmpfs tmpfs 751M 172K 750M 1% /run none tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock none tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /run/shm /dev/xvdb ext3 394G 199M 374G 1% /mnt ubuntu@-----:~$ mount /dev/xvda1 on / type ext4 (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) none on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw) none on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw) none on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw) udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,mode=0755) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=0620) tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,size=10%,mode=0755) none on /run/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,size=5242880) none on /run/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev) /dev/xvdb on /mnt type ext3 (rw,_netdev)

  • creating TAGS for Ruby and emacs

    - by hortitude
    I ran the following from my top level Ruby on Rails directory find . -name "*.rb" | etags - Then within emacs I visited that tag file. This works reasonably well to find some of the methods and most of the files, however it is having trouble finding some of the extra methods/classes that I use in my helpers directory. e.g. I have a file in my helpers dir called my_foo_helper.rb If I search my tags for that file, it finds it. However, if I try to find a tag for one of the methods within that module it doesn't find it at all. If I use Aptana or something like that it seems to be able to locate those methods. Any thoughts? Thanks!

  • monitoring load on AWS EC2

    - by hortitude
    I'm interesting in monitoring our EC2 instances to ensure we scale up when necessary. Right now we are monitoring idle CPU time as our metric. We aren't measuring disk IO as we are not a very disk intensive application. When running on our own hardware in a datacenter I also usually monitor "load" from the top command. My question is: Does it make sense to monitor "load" on a shared env such as EC2? If so, how do you interpret the results?

  • ec2 ami device mapping

    - by hortitude
    I have large ec2 Ubuntu image and I'm just looking through the devices. I noticed from the metadata that % curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/block-device-mapping/ami sda1 % curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/block-device-mapping/ephemeral0 sdb However when I look what is actually mounted there is /dev/xvda1 and /dev/xvdb (and there is no /dev/sd* ) I know that both names look somewhat valid from the AWS documentation, but it looks to me from this like there is a mismatch in the instance metadata and what is actually on the machine. Why don't they match?

  • Is Zabbix the right tool for me?

    - by hortitude
    I just want to monitor a small handful of servers (less than 10). From reading various places it sounds like the top leading contenders (for open source at least) are: nagios munin zabbix From what I have read a lot of people tend to use munin and nagios together -- munin for history and graphs, and nagios for alerting. On the other hand it sounds like Zabbix is a more complete solution and easier to configure than either of the other two. So I was thinking of going that route. My thoughts right now are: What are the general disadvantages of Zabbix? Does Zabbix have a small footprint on boxes it is monitoring? Do I really need to setup an entire other server for it? I currently have a server that is under very light load -- can I dual purpose it?

  • How to set RAILS_ENV in Aptana Rad Rails?

    - by Hortitude
    I'm using Aptana RadRails, and it seems that whenever I do any rake tasks it is using the development environment. How do I tell it to use the production environment? (e.g. db:create sets up my development database. I know I could do a db:create:all, but I'm wondering how to set the environment.) Thanks!

  • Google Web Tookit User extensions missing Spinner?

    - by Hortitude
    When I look at the example of the user extensions of GWT-Ext I saw the Spinner as a user extension: http://www.gwt-ext.com/demo-ux/#spinner When I download the library from http://code.google.com/p/gwt-ext-ux/downloads/list (I downloaded the latest build -- 0.3.0) it does not appear to contain the Spinner class. Can anyone point me in the right direction for how to use it?

  • Best C++ static & run time tools

    - by Hortitude
    Apologies if I missed this question already, but I searched and couldn't find it. I have been out the C/C++ world for a little while and am back on a project. I was wondering what tools are preferred today to help with development. The types of tools I'm referring to are: Purify Electric Fence PC-Lint cscope Thanks!

  • YUI and/or jQuery for a new project?

    - by Hortitude
    If I am starting a new project how should I pick between using YUI 2, YUI 3 and jQuery? I know there are a bunch of questions/answers already about can you use them together, but I am trying to figure out what criteria I should be thinking about to make my decision. Are they overlapping? Is one better at GUI and the other better at internals? Do they play well together? My understanding from other questions is that they can live in different namespaces, so they can live together, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it is good to use both. Thanks!
