Hello Guys,
I am currently have about 20 servers (few vps and few dedicated servers) what i am looking for is a Program/Script ( PHP , ASP ) to monitor my servers for Ping every few mins and that i can see this information on web interface with Uptime stats etc... , i did some digging on google, and everything is too complicated , looking for something simple to do this mission, do you guys have any recommendation ?


Thanks in advance,
Evgeni.

Why not use something like Nagios installed on a VPS or similar to let you handle this?

What about a Third party service that is already available?

Nagios is very complicated, especially for this purpose. I use Nagios on production for a lot of services with SMS alerts etc etc. But it's just a bit too much hazzle for new setups. Reliable and stable tho.

There's plenty of uptime monitoring services however :) I saw one being touted in LifeHacker the other day: http://lifehacker.com/5349411/pingdom-uptime+monitoring-service-now-offering-free-accounts

Screenshot looks good atleast.

I signed up to the free account of pingdom, looks awesome, feels awesome. Instead of the free 20 SMS i got only 15 tho :(

A bit pricey for some, but for businesses it's a price worth paying for this simple and easy to use if nagios or other monitoring solutions are overkill.

I will recommend you to use nagios, it's a little bit complicated but definitely one of the best monitoring tools.
