[Flounder] VPS performance

[Ian Brown]

I have used a few different ones over the years. But I will stick to the
most recent ones I have used in a Corporate/Enterprise environment.

I currently have NewRelic APM (free account) running on some software I
have built (Ruby on Rails). This is an awesome tool for showing the last 30
days of application performance and any errors or latency issues that arise
within the application. If you need more than 30 days worth of stats, you
will need to pay for the tool. NR also does infrastructure
monitoring, however I find it very expensive compared to others in the
market.

If you just want generic server ping time monitoring, then either
pingdom.com (paid) or a Nagios machine that runs a simple tcp connection to
the website every x seconds would suffice.
Nagios can do a lot of stuff which is why it is my go-to for server
performance monitoring.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Ian
