Hi all, I got major problem, I have a private server on which I host a website for one of my clients. He just spent $$$$ dollars on advertisment in the newspaper, but today my server is down, even the website of my hosting company. Now I like to check how long the website/server was down, how would I do that??? Tx in advance
You can look at the http request records in your web site logs, any large gaps might correlate with your outage. On a windows server, I would just look at the system log. It will show a record for the shutdown and restart of the eventlog service which corresponds with the reboot of the server. On a *nix system, I'm guessing you could look at dmsgs? If you are running third party monitoring, then the service would have a report of the outage(s). Have a look at my signature .
@plumsauce, tx for your explanation/suggestions. But my server is still down so I can't see the log files, yet. Gonna take a look a basicstate
