We're currently evaluating a product called SiteScope from Freshwater Software (http://www.freshwater.com) It can monitor HTTP, HTTPS, Database Connections, DNS, FTP, SMTP, POP(3?), NNTP, Ping, and custom port monitors. The version I've got (unfortunately) is NT, but they offer a UN*X version as well. On the notification side, you're options are decent too (e-mail, pager, SNMP trap, recovery script) So far, the software has (believe it or not) exceeded our expectations in both capability and ease of use, and given what companies get for software like this these days, it's reasonably priced. FYI, I don't work for Freshwater, nor am I associated with them. As a matter of fact, I got my hands on their software and let it sit for three months without installing it while I wrote my own monitor in Perl. Now I'm going to throw out the one I wrote. Oh well. :) Hope this helps, -Matt At 09:57 AM 11/29/1999 -0800, you wrote:
Hi all, a slightly off topic question: Any recommendations on network monitors to verify smtp, http, and firewall online status (ping) of various machines. I'm looking for something that can send a page or an e-mail if there is a problem. Thanks! -Aaron
