Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Software and Control Panels : Anyone using 1H Guardian?

[Steven F]

Is anyone using 1H Guardian? If so, can I get your opinions about it? It looks like it can be a phenomenal product, but I just want to make sure.

[reloaded]

I'm using Guardian on a few servers. And Hive. Guardian is great, it kicks in whenever a server's load reaches a predetermined threshold and works to quickly bring the load down. If you have any specific questions, I'd be happy to answer them if I can.

We used it for a bit and actually found that although it was great we didn't really need it, so now we just use Hive.

Reloaded, how does it deal with high load? (I.E. - which processes will it kill?) Also, it will try and restart certain programs that crash, correct?

[1hsoft]

Basically guardian would kill processes that would generally cause high load on the server. Guardian will also pro-actively monitor vital services for a web hosting server and it will start whichever service is down. Guardian will not restart services it is not monitoring though.
