Subject: Network Monitoring Tools
Our company is having some issues with a web hosting provider.
The server we
have with them (at a remote location) crashes ... sometimes
more than once a
week.
We are an e-commerce company, so whenever our site is down, we
are losing
orders!
Is there a network monitoring tool that I can install on a
machine within
our own network that will monitor the server uptime of our
server that is at
a remote location?
I want a tool that will monitor the server, make sure certain
services are
working, and then, if they are not, to either text message me,
or e-mail me.
Check out nagios and/or cacti. Cacti and Nagios uses snmp, I believe
and nagios is quite extensive and flexible IMO. Not sure if it is
overkill for your needs or hard to setup but I used it for my 13+
home systems. Quite nice and it lets me know immediately if a
system is down or if resources are being depleted. You can use
pagers and email notification and perhaps send a message to your
cell phone.
