Overview

Monitor Turbo Server services to verify portal availability, certificate validity, Windows service status, and disk capacity. The examples below provide starting points you can adjust to your environment.

Nagios

Use Nagios to monitor HTTP response times and certificate expiration on the Portal.

define service {
        use                             local-service
        host_name                       <turbo-server-hostname>
        service_description             HTTP Response Time
        check_command                   check_http!<turbo-server-hostname>!https://<turbo-server-hostname>!5!10!-S
}

define service {
        use                             local-service
        host_name                       <turbo-server-hostname>
        service_description             SSL Certificate Expiration Check
        check_command                   check_http_cert!<turbo-server-hostname>!14
}

The HTTP response time check raises a warning after 5 seconds and a critical alert after 10 seconds or no response. The certificate check alerts when the certificate expires within 14 days.

Monitor Turbo Server Windows services to ensure they stay online.

define service {
        use                             generic-service
        host_name                       <turbo-server-hostname>
        service_description             Turbo Server Hub/Portal Service
        check_command                   check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l Turbo
}

define service {
        use                             generic-service
        host_name                       <turbo-server-hostname>
        service_description             Turbo Server Application Service
        check_command                   check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l Turbo.AppServer
}

These checks alert when the services are not running.

Monitor free space on the C drive to prevent outages.

define service {
        use                             generic-service
        host_name                       <turbo-server-hostname>
        service_description             Turbo Server Disk Space
        check_command                   WinCheckDriveSize!c!20%!10%
}

This check warns when free space drops below 20% and raises a critical alert below 10%.

Datadog

Use Datadog synthetic checks to monitor Portal response time and certificate expiration.

- name: <turbo-server-hostname>
  url: https://<turbo-server-hostname>
  seconds_warning: 5
  seconds_critical: 10
  check_certificate_expiration: true
  disable_ssl_validation: false
  days_warning: 14

This check raises warnings after 5 seconds and critical alerts after 10 seconds or no response, and alerts when the certificate expires within 14 days.

Monitor Turbo Server Windows services from Datadog.

- services:
  - Turbo
  - Turbo.AppServer

These checks alert when the services are not running.

Track disk utilization with a Datadog query alert.

{
  "name": "Disk space is low on {{device.name}} / {{host.name}}",
  "type": "query alert",
  "query": "avg(last_15m):avg:system.disk.in_use by {host,device} > 0.9",
  "message": "message @[email protected]",
  "options": {
    "include_tags": true,
    "thresholds": {
      "critical": 0.9,
      "warning": 0.8
    },
    "require_full_window": true,
    "notify_no_data": false,
    "renotify_interval": 0,
    "escalation_message": "",
    "no_data_timeframe": null,
    "new_group_delay": 300,
    "silenced": {}
  },
  "priority": null,
  "restricted_roles": null
}

This alert triggers warnings when free space drops below 20% and critical alerts below 10%. Import the configuration through the Datadog UI.
