Hi Mattias,

Many UNIX/Linux based OS have built-in command called 'uptime' which
provides you almost real time uptime information.

If you wish to go for third party 'uptime' information provider, you
can choose either from Zabbix or Nagios.

Besides this, SNMP can also provide you with same information. However
make sure you configure it properly and secure SNMP service.

Hello !

Om looking fo a tool to monitor my servers uptime.
Thinking of pinging som domains and maybe have som script running in the
servers to give an Ok if server is good.

A am tilting towards Nagios for there tool to genriate automatic
repports for uptime.
But anyone using any thing else?
