VPS Email Resource Alerts?

[bcaa8ra]

Is it possible to receive email or SMS resource alerts from my VPS? Or are there any scripts I could schedule to do the same? Also it would be nice to schedule daily reports from the VPS to monitor disk usage and bandwidth.

Thanks for any VPS newby help.

I have same question.... any one around?

even though I am no expert by any means, I have developed enough now to check memory usage, disk usage and inodes. In the scripts I watch for certain levels, easily modifiable to your needs. If they reach the levels, it sends an email.
I now am working on monitory bandwidth usage. I am at my laptop computer but will share them tomorrow when I am at my desktop.

My hope is some experts look look at them and make some improvements.

Attached is what I have so far. It's ugly but I am an amateur with linux. I hope to keep working on it until it is a thing of beauty...

The next part will be to monitor bandwidth. I ended up installing VNSTAT, this will log bandwidth usage so I should be able to include in the script something for that next.
