Sistem Monitoring Server Berbasis SMS (Studi Kasus : Server Siakad Unila)

Abstract

University of Lampung's Siakad has been used since 2000, with increasing number of users aligning to increasing number of students. The management needs more servers and administrators to accommodate this vast the number of users. The lack of administrators often causes late handling of bad server performances. By concerning the limitation of server performance monitoring, it is needed to create a tool that can monitor server performance in order to report to the remote administrators. Therefore when server performs not well, administrator can overcome this quickly and accurately.
By considering that condition and the availability SMS(Short Message Service) as a widely-used service, in this research a monitoring application for Unila's Siakad server is developed using SMS as the tool for reporting. Application is developed using UML as modeling tool and using Java as programming language. This application analyses server for performance indicators including failure condition by reading status code at access log, illegal access on database server, overloaded server condition, and connection status on web server and database server, then it sends error report.
From testing result, this application can analyze every aspect needed by Siakad Unila, but the result shows high delay of reporting.
