Hi there

I'm looking for a monitoring solution. I like to get informed when a service is not available. For example "www.watchmyserver.com" has a solution like this but the drawback is that you just get informed if the server is not ping able. But sometimes it's not the whole server which is going down. I would like to watch services like HTTP, SMTP, FTP, CPOP, etc.

Does anybody knows a good program or a good website which supports that? If this program is just sending an email it's also ok cause I can forward this to our SMS-Gateway.

Thanks a lot!

InternetSeer (http://www.internetseer.com) offers a slightly more comprehensive service than watchmyserver.com, but doesn't send SMS - only email.
There are a few good monitoring services available, but most of them cost quite a bit and only one or two offer SMS alerts.

"...Demarc Security is proud to offer PureSecure, an all-inclusive network monitoring solution that allows you to monitor an entire network of servers from one powerful web interface."

i tried demarc and i always got database connection errors where it said a username wasnt specified when it clearly was...

I believe QwkMon (http://www.qwkmon.com/) will do what you want.
