How to monitor statusnet instance ?

Hello,
I had an issue this week-end with my own statusnet instance.
It seems that queue manager was out, preventing ostatus send & receive.

Bit more strange, Twitter plugin import worked great (that's why I did not notice something was going wrong) but not export to Twitter.

Restarting web stack wolved the issue.

Now, my question is: How can I monitor my statusnet instance and more specifically the queue manager ?

I've seen http://status.net/wiki/Daemon_redesign#Process_state_monitoring_example and http://status.net/wiki/Long_term_development_issues

The first URL shows sample monitoring graphs: is it possible to get the same ? If yes, how ?
The second link is about an admin dasboard for maintenance, stats and/or monitoring. Is there already sort of API to get stats ? Or anything URL that could allow me to check statusnet instance global health, queue size ,... ?

I know there are many question, but I would like to be alerted if something goes wrong with my instance :)

Thanks,
JB

    @jbfavre We use Monit to keep the daemons running and Nagios to monitor other server related things. I think those graphs may be from Ganglia. All third party programs.

    @jordanc thanks for your answer. I've setted up monit to keep queue daemon running.
    But I wonder how to get the stats showed in graphs ? From DB, logs, API, other ?

    @jbfavre I'm not 100% sure, but it looks like those stats come from ActiveMQ which we use for queue managing/message distribution - it may be a bit of overkill unless you're running several big instances.

    @jordanc For sure it'll be ;)
    Sad for those of us who want to have their own instance :(

    Maybe you know a bit more about roadmap regarding admin dashboard with stats and monitoring ?
    If not, I'll open a feature request.

    @jbfavre A feature request wouldn't hurt. I know it's been talked about, not sure how soon it is in the roadmap.

    @jordanc you ask, I post ;) http://status.net/open-source/issues/3165
