| Posted by depalma, 03-29-2005, 08:33 AM | | Hi
I'm looking for a couple of pieces of software.
One that monitors the server up time monitoring of many different servers. I'm looking for a good software program that can do this from my own computer (regularly pinging the servers for their uptime).
Does anyone have any recommendations - preferably software that doesn't cost too much (not a hosted solution).
Also, is there any software or service that can compare the speed of different servers, so you can see how they compare with each other?
many thanks
Barnaby

Doesn't use much resources.
Does the job exactly as you want. Monitors load, uptime of server, uptime of services, pings, reports problems on current server. Can also be setup to monitor multiple servers and remote machines.
Been using it for two years, very happy. Plus its free - nagios.org.
Installing and configuring can take a while though.

There is no better software available in my opinion. We're currently monitoring more than 100 servers using their enterprise version, which uses the same core engine as the free version.

I have used IPcheck, IPmonitor, hybodus, netsaint and all the others. If you plan to have a lot of stuff to monitor then OPmanager is the best thing for yea. There netflow APP is also very nice.
But it's not that cheap, I think it's about $750 or so.

I've also used EasyMonitor.com which offers free server monitoring.
Hope this helps

Only thing is there is no easy customer interface.
