Server Monitoring?
Hi,
I have a new reseller account, and wanted to monitor the uptime. How can I do this? What are the best solutions? Any free ones please?
Thanks :-)

I've used the following:
Free:
http://www.nagios.org/ (a bit complex but lots of plugins)
http://mmonit.com/monit/ (monitors metrics/processes)
Paid:
http://www.pingdom.com/
Pingdom is paid but pretty inexpensive. We've had a lot of luck with it for basic monitoring. We use an in-house system to monitor other metrics (load/space/logs/etc).Jeff Standen, Software Architect, Cerb

I would reccomend www.hyperspin.com
Avoid www.siteuptime.com - We used to use them but ended up getting a lot of false positives / or they miss outages altogether.

Check with your upstream provider, they must have some monitoring tools in place which you can view as well.
Otherwise I would recommend hyperspin.com

There is one thing I can tell you...don't use siteuptime.com, not a very reliable source at all.
It cost's money, but I would go with Pingdom.

There is none better than Nagios. It's flexible, reliable, and just plain works. If you want a somewhat simple frontend, use the Groundwork Community Edition.

Nagios might be great but he just has a reseller account. Where is he going to install nagios? I would recommend a service like httpvision.com or alertra.com.

If you have more than a couple servers, I'd definitely look into Nagios. It can't be beat for monitoring multiple servers, along with services like mail, apache, dns, etc.
If that reseller account is the only server you have, httpvision.com or pingdom.com should have everything you need.
Good luck with your new reseller account.

Better to go with Paid one for extra features

We actually use PRTG ans Zennos for our server monitoring. Both are very reliable, customizable and accurate.

We use UptimeInspector for our server monitoring. We find UptimeInspector to be very reliable and accurate as well as very affordable.

Well I've looked at hyperspin, and I am looking at binary canary. Its quite a lot cheaper than hyperspin if i'm reading it correctly...
