Q: How to monitor cpu server load via mobile app

A: You can build a custom sensor using http://www.Pingdom.com

And they have an Android and IPhone app

See here:

Snip from the blog post:

Since you are returning a value and a status every time your XML page is accessed (for example once a minute), you will be able to see this data in the graphs in the Pingdom control panel, and of course be sent alerts just as with any other Pingdom check.

This may all sound a bit abstract, so let’s look at some examples of how this new check type can be used.

Monitor the amount of free RAM or HD space on your server.
Monitor the CPU load on your server.
Monitor the number of active connections to your web server.
And any other monitoring type you can imagine…
All you need is a script that performs some form of task on your end and sends back the status and value of the operation in the specified XML format. Your script decides what is considered UP (i.e. OK), so you have full control over thresholds and what is tested on your end.

Of course, nothing stops you from performing more advanced tasks than the ones we mentioned above. The imagination is the limit here. What we do on our end is simple, we just get this XML file from you. How you generate it is completely up to you.

Cheers,

Dave
