God has posed many problems for me in the past. I saw all the same problems "there" saw. It would slow down our entire slice on slicehost to a standstill after a few days of running. It was using more resources than everything else combined. I'm not sure how it is now, but we switched to Monit after God and it's been awesome.

I wrote a quick snippet on how we setup the basics of Monit and also talked about God as well: http://artchang.com/?sort=&search=monit
