In order to monitor all hosts and 
we recommend a tool called Zabbix.
When Zabbix has been installed and started, Zabbix agents will be running on every host collecting host statistics. The host statistics is reported to a Zabbix Server that will be running in [CZ]. When Zabbix has been started you can monitor the Control Zone and Execution Zone at http://<[CZ] host name or IP address>/zabbix :
Zabbix Monitoring Dashboard
Starting Zabbix
Zabbix has to be started on every host, starting with the [CZ].
To start Zabbix:
Start a command line tool in the [CZ] host and log in as
rootuser.
Start the Zabbix server:
$ service zabbix-server start
Start the Zabbix agent:
$ service zabbix-agent start
Start a command line tool in one of the other hosts and log in as
rootuser.
Start the Zabbix agent:
$ service zabbix-agent start
Repeat steps 4 and 5 until the Zabbix agent has been started on all hosts.
Stopping Zabbix
Zabbix is stopped in reversed order compared to when starting Zabbix.
To stop Zabbix:
Start a command line tool in one of the hosts, but save the [CZ] for last, and log in as
rootuser.
Stop the Zabbix agent:
$ service zabbix-agent stop
Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the Zabbix agent has been stopped on all hosts except [CZ].
Start a command line tool in [CZ] and log in as
rootuser.
Stop the Zabbix server:
$ service zabbix-server stop
Stop the Zabbix agent:
$ service zabbix-agent stop
