Hello,

At first: This is not advertisement, but offer of cooperation.

Anyone here wants to join new site-uptime platform?

The idea is simply. You give an account from which the script runs (and you become one of stations which checks another servers) and receive the services: the network will monitor your several servers with a minute interval and alert you when anything is wrong.

The monitoring will be reliable since I think we can make a network with 15-30 stations. And the checks would be performed every minute. Of course not every station will be checking every host - each host will be monitored by one station and only when the test fails (or station is down) another stations will check this host. As a network's member you will be able to monitor unlimited (well, reasonably limited) number of your hosts.

We will prepare all reqired software and organise all thing. Your job would be to give an account on your servers located worldwide. And you receive premium quality monitoring services (monitoring http, ftp, pop3, smtp, mysql services every minute).

This project shall be non-commercial and will be running only for network's internal use. If someday it will become available to everyone and paid service, all stations will be receiving their share of revenue. But this ain't our main target - we just want to create a good tool for yours and ours use.

What would you think about such project?

Are you interrested joining in? If yes, please write it down here or PM me.

Who are we?
We have 7-years experience in programming. Now we are starting our hosting business localy in our country. You may be sure that we will write quite good software which the network will run.

Any opinions and applications are welcome.

Thanks.

Sounds interesting. Could you provide some details about the technology behind this platform?

The software will be written by ours.
The technology will be perl since it's really good for such applications and we have some experience in using it. Databases will be in mysql.

There will be two types of sotware: one run on the stations and second run on hq.

Each station will have its own schedule of hosts to watch. Every station will know every other's station schedule, so if one station goes down the other does its job.

The whole network will run perfectly even if hq will be down. Hq will be only for collecting data and making schedules for stations. If hq is down the stations still will be able to take a decision which station shall replace every station which is down, and which shall send alerts to downline hosts.

That's a short description of the system.

Interested. Email me :)

Same as UltimeWWW. ;)

I'm sort of lost, but e-mail me anyways. :)

I'm interested. Drop me an email or PM as well.

I am interested in this as well

Any update on this?

Sounds like a good idea, send an email this way if you are still looking for people.

Is the software ready ? why not just use something like Nagios? It already have all the functionality and use perl too

Why not use a pre-built software like Nagios, which has syncronization capabilities, IIRC.

IMO, Nagios would be perfect for this app, even if it didn't have the ability to sync.

Can you use nagios on a reseller account?

I though it needed more access to install and setup?

I'm Interested in hearing more about this...

You need root access to set up nagios :)

Thats why I am looking for an alternative. I like the idea of having servers monitor each other

I'm interested, drop me a email.

Whoo...what a coincidence...I was reading Nagios docs when I saw this. This would be much better than an inhouse implementation. I'm in whenever you're ready with your code.

Nagios would be good...you could change its code todo that failover testing routine. Root access for install isn't a problem since you are asking server-owners anyway !!

I'm interested as well. You can reach me via PM.

I'm interested as well. Drop me a line with more info.

A free account? Will you need access? We don't offer anyone an account with our customers without confirmed billing details.

If it's a case of offering a script without you having access in any form then the idea is interesting.

Whats the status of this project? Is it and/or did it work for any of you?

Hi im interested too. Can you please PM me.

Let me know about this =) Email me or PM me.
