Server and Site Monitoring for OpenCart

Description

Without monitoring you learn about site downtime from a buyer who could not place an order, or from Google Search Console after rankings have already dropped. Properly configured monitoring alerts about a problem within 1–5 minutes of its occurrence — long before buyers notice.

We configure comprehensive monitoring for servers running OpenCart and ocStore: from simple availability checks to detailed resource and application error monitoring.

What We Monitor

• Uptime: HTTP site availability check every 1–5 minutes
• SSL certificate: warnings 30 and 14 days before expiry
• CPU, RAM, disk: alerts when threshold values exceeded
• PHP-FPM: active process count, request queue
• MySQL/MariaDB: connection count, slow query, DB size
• PHP error_log: notification when new fatal errors appear

Notifications

We configure notification channels: email, Telegram, SMS. Alert thresholds and frequency are set per type: e.g., site down — immediate, disk > 85% — once daily. Dashboard access provided.
