I recently setup a small server monitoring script using the APIs from Gandi and Monitor.us – both services I would recommend – to use as a module within Status Board.

There was one small quirk – I decided to run it from a Gandi PAAS instance and discovered that the PEAR install they provide doesn’t include two PEAR modules required to run their own API… Luckily it is easy to fix.

1. Download HTTP_Request2 and Net_URL2 from PEAR and extract them locally.
2. Navigate inside the extract folders and upload the HTTP and Net folders respectively to /lamp0/web/includes
3. That’s it!

A strange oversight perhaps but at least Gandi provide the ready configured includes path/folder.
