I'd writing a talk on web application monitoring and if people have a moment I'd love some data to use in that talk.<p>For your currently live project/team/organisation/whatever what is the ratio of unit, functional, integration tests to checks in your monitoring system?<p>For instance in a recent project (medium sized rails stack) we have ~2000 tests to about 240 checks in Nagios.<p>Any data points would be interesting. Anonymous data is fine.
I'm surprised at that amount of active checks for a web app. What are you checking really - things like responsiveness, or more correctness? And do you include only the webapp checks, or also the underlaying system.<p>I'd expect somewhere around 20-40 checks for the system itself, so it looks like a reasonable number for a single app/deployment. Then again, I'm a passive monitoring fanboy.
