charithd has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Good day to you all,

I need develop a dashboard that can show available linux servers status (I have more than 10 servers) like login users, cat some files from server and show outputs, restart services like apache and tomcat ..etc

for now I'm doing all the back-end work by perl and it capture and store the informations on DB. PHP front-end extract this info from DB and show it on web. (obviously not the correct way)

In this case I cannot effectively do service restart and cat files via php because i had to remotely connect many servers.

Is there any easy way of doing this kind of work with perl CGI or any other language ? (sorry for asking suggestions on other language here)

Any advise or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

    What specifically do you need help with? Cat what files? Where? If you are already issuing other commands on these servers to collect their information, I would think you could force restart the same way.

    Take a look at Nagios.

    In addition to extracting data for monitoring, the interface can be used to run arbitrary commands (such as shutdown -r now).
