 | View Full Version : Monitoring software for a Dedi? zRedDice 08-30-2002, 01:20 PM I am wondering if someone could reccomend some free (or close to free) software for monitoring the status of a dedicated server. I have one that pings the server, but I want something that might be able to check the status of the HTTP server, FTP server, and other services... Can anyone make a reccomendation?

Until I get my networking problems straightened out on my VMWare Linux box... I can't handle Linux... :( James zRedDice 08-30-2002, 01:29 PM I'm sorry... I misread its description... That _would_ work since it is server-side... and the server is Linux... but I was looking more along the lines of client-side remote monitoring in case it crashes... James AussieHosts 08-30-2002, 01:42 PM You could check out: http://www.8th-wonder.net/ware.asp Scroll down to Eye in the Sky. There's a 14 day trial to download (and an update right below it). I think the cost is very minimal to register it after that.

Or if you want something just for a little while until you get your other server fixed up, I can monitor your server remotely. Email me to work something out. George hosthero 09-01-2002, 09:18 AM netsaint is a pain to install. Ive used websitepulse and its pretty c00l. might want to try that. Another good one is alertsite.com as stated above... Bram 09-01-2002, 10:13 AM I highly recommend Alertra, www.alertra.com jmaclean 09-02-2002, 07:59 AM I've personally used netsaint and big brother (http://www.bb4.com). Both have worked quite well. My University uses bb4 to monitor its servers as well. |
