[13:13] We're looking to supplement our current Nagios implementation, but have something entirely decoupled from our network infrastructure [13:15] *** fink has quit IRC (Quit: fink) [13:16] i was actually looking for the same thing... [13:18] we're checking out Pingdom, and Site24x7 [13:18] so far no clear winners [13:18] yeah, I don't like Pingdom for some reason.. also it is pretty expensive for what it is [13:19] the only things we really need are sms+email alerting and URL monitoring [13:20] I've got cloudkick monitoring http, https, and ping on my vm, but it looks like they are in the middle of a transition to becoming "Rackspace Cloud Monitoring" [13:20] since our in-house monitoring system takes care of the rest, we just want to know if customer-facing sites are not responding [13:21] henderb: yeah, that kinda rules them out [13:21] and illustrates one of the problems with SaaS providers [13:23] what problem is that? [13:23] *** fink has joined #arpnetworks [13:25] that they can just randomly decide that the service you use is deprecated, forcing you to migrate [13:25] ah, LOL, yeah [13:25] either to their new SaaS system, or to someone else [13:25] right [13:26] kinda like the problem of migrating Slicehost customers to Rackspace Cloud, and all the IP renumbering outcry that came with it [13:26] yeah... people hate renumbering [13:26] so that problem exists in *aaS (any service ;) [13:29] We're renumbering our office so we can switch from business-grade (hah) cable + a T1 backup line to a much nicer E100 line [13:30] it's only ~16 IPs, but that's difficult enough, I couldn't imagine doing an entire cloud [13:33] not a fan of pingdom, I usually just setup a remote app to monitor from the outside [13:34] http://wasitup.com/ is not too shabby [13:34] E100 line? [13:34] yeah, something the local providers offer, it's a 100Mbit ethernet port directly to the premises [13:35] nice! [13:35] where are you located? [13:35] less hassle for the provider, as they don't have to worry about CPE and translating the signal to whatever they use on their fiber etc [13:35] downtown Vancouver [13:35] ah cool [13:36] About how much does better service like that cost? Our office is only 4 blocks from the Pittock IX in Portland and I keep wondering what it would take to get fiber or something and move our comcast to backup duty [13:37] I don't see the bills, so I have no idea [13:37] it's definitely more than "business"-grade cable/DSL, but generally the SLAs are much better [13:38] my last job had 10Mbit symmetrical fiber, with no transfer cap [13:38] it never went down in the five years I managed it [13:38] Lefty: what medium are they using to deliver the 100 Mpbs, fiber? copper? coax ;) [13:39] I believe it's fiber to the building, and then they distribute it via copper from the demarc downstairs [13:39] roger [13:39] really the only difference is the signalling used [13:39] yeah [13:41] Lefty: nice, another vancouverite?
