What Problem This Script Solves

Production issues that go undetected for hours can cost thousands in lost revenue and damage customer trust. Without proactive monitoring, you only discover problems when users complain. The Odoo Health Monitoring Script provides early warning of issues before they impact your business.

Quick Start: How to Use Odoo Health Monitoring Script

Get up and running in under 5 minutes with these simple steps:

  1. Download and install
    wget https://ariashaw.com/assets/downloads/advanced_monitor_odoo.sh && chmod +x advanced_monitor_odoo.sh
  2. Configure thresholds and alerts
    nano advanced_monitor_odoo.sh  # Set CPU, memory, disk thresholds
  3. Run initial health check
    ./advanced_monitor_odoo.sh --check-now
  4. Schedule continuous monitoring
    crontab -e  # Add: */5 * * * * /path/to/advanced_monitor_odoo.sh

How It Works: A Look Under the Hood

The monitoring system uses multi-layered health checks:

(1) System metrics (CPU, memory, disk) are sampled and compared against thresholds.

(2) Service availability is tested through process checks and port scanning.

(3) Application-level health is verified through database connectivity and response time tests.

(4) Anomaly detection identifies unusual patterns even within normal thresholds.

(5) Alerts are generated when issues are detected, with severity levels based on impact.

(6) All metrics are logged for historical analysis.

Real-World Success Stories

Here's how real companies are using this script in production:

E-commerce site with seasonal traffic spikes

Detected memory leak 3 hours before it would have caused outage during Black Friday sale. Proactive restart prevented revenue loss estimated at $45,000.

Multi-tenant SaaS provider with 50 clients

Automated monitoring caught disk space exhaustion at 85% instead of 100%, allowing graceful cleanup before service degradation. Reduced MTTR (Mean Time To Resolution) from 2 hours to 15 minutes with automated alerts.

What This Free Script Covers (And Doesn't)

This production script is production-ready and has helped thousands of Odoo deployments. However, it's designed as a starting point, not a complete enterprise solution.

Current Limitations

  • Monitors basic system metrics (CPU, RAM, disk) only—no business logic health checks.
  • Alerting limited to local logs; no Slack, email, or PagerDuty integrations.
  • No performance trend analysis or capacity planning features.
  • Missing Prometheus/Grafana integration configs.

Common Questions & Troubleshooting

Based on 200+ support requests, here are the most common questions about this script:

  • I'm getting false positive alerts. How do I reduce noise?

    Adjust threshold values in the configuration section to match your normal operating ranges. Consider using percentage-based thresholds instead of absolute values. Enable alert suppression during known maintenance windows. The script supports threshold tuning - start conservative and relax thresholds based on observed baselines.

  • How do I get alerts via email or Slack instead of just logs?

    This free script logs to files by default. For email alerts, add a mail command in the alert section. For Slack/PagerDuty integration, you'll need to add webhook calls (examples in comments). The Master Pack includes pre-built integrations for 15+ notification channels with intelligent alert routing.

  • Can this script monitor multiple Odoo instances?

    Yes, copy the script and configure each instance separately. Use different log files for each instance. For centralized monitoring of multiple instances with unified dashboards, consider the Master Pack Operations Console which aggregates metrics across all your Odoo deployments.

  • What metrics should I monitor for optimal Odoo performance?

    Essential metrics: CPU usage (alert >80%), memory usage (alert >85%), disk space (alert >80%), PostgreSQL connections (alert >80% of max_connections), worker availability, HTTP response time (alert >2s). The script monitors all of these by default with production-tested thresholds.
