Joe,

Creating a bunch of shell scripts who reboot apache for you is really simple once you got password less ssh setup.

I made sure all of the servers are reachable trough ssh from the NFS/management server. As soon as i want to reboot all of the apache daemons, i run a simple shell scripts which reboots them with a simpe "ssh 10.0.0.* /etc/init.d/apache restart" for every server.

This isn't the best ou could do, but im not so sure about your shell scripting ability's.

Load monitoring is done trough mrtg/rrd tool on my cluster, but it needs manual configuraton for each and every metric. You might want to take a look at ganglia (if i remember it correct), or cacti if you want to use rrdtool.

have fun!

I can't imagine this being a new problem for anyone on this list. I'm looking for a tool that offers a centralized control panel for the basics of managing my real servers from a central location. My setup is similar to many, I would assume. I have an LVS sitting in front of four web servers balancing 80/443 traffic using keepalived. Apache configs, docroots and log files all sit on an NFS server.

What I'd like is something that will allow me to do the following (for now):

1.) Monitor load on the servers (connections and actual load)
2.) Restart Apache after I've made a change

It looks like LVSM was trying to be this, but it doesn't appear to be in active development. Is there anything else out there? I'm just trying to avoid having to log into four machines and restart apache each time I make changes to my httpd.conf and basic stats. I don't care if it's web based or whatever (just can't be GUI).
