Take the 2-minute tour ×  I am pretty new to running a VPS. I am
using http://www.pingdom.com/ to monitor my server and notify me
when its down.  What is the process I should go through to
determine why is causing the server to go down?  I didn't do
anything and it automatically came back up if that helps
diagnostic at all.   share|improve this question The server
becomes entirely down or just some service? Any logs? –  Khaled

the only thing that is running of use). I think PingDom just
checks that the website is running, ie a HTTP check. Assuming I
have set up my webserver properly, the logs folder is empty. –

what web server you are running, and under what criteria you
determine that it is not running, there is very little we can do
for you.  In other words, you need to provide (f)actual data,
not conjectures and guesses.  share|improve this answer How do I
