HighJinx has joined #arpnetworks Lefty: Anyone here use a hosted monitoring solution and have any recommendations for or against?
We're looking to supplement our current Nagios implementation, but have something entirely decoupled from our network infrastructure ***: fink has quit IRC (Quit: fink) up_the_irons: i was actually looking for the same thing... Lefty: we're checking out Pingdom, and Site24x7
so far no clear winners up_the_irons: yeah, I don't like Pingdom for some reason.. also it is pretty expensive for what it is Lefty: the only things we really need are sms+email alerting and URL monitoring henderb: 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" Lefty: since our in-house monitoring system takes care of the rest, we just want to know if customer-facing sites are not responding
henderb: yeah, that kinda rules them out
and illustrates one of the problems with SaaS providers up_the_irons: what problem is that? ***: fink has joined #arpnetworks Lefty: that they can just randomly decide that the service you use is deprecated, forcing you to migrate up_the_irons: ah, LOL, yeah Lefty: either to their new SaaS system, or to someone else up_the_irons: right
kinda like the problem of migrating Slicehost customers to Rackspace Cloud, and all the IP renumbering outcry that came with it Lefty: yeah... people hate renumbering up_the_irons: so that problem exists in *aaS (any service ;) Lefty: We're renumbering our office so we can switch from business-grade (hah) cable + a T1 backup line to a much nicer E100 line
it's only ~16 IPs, but that's difficult enough, I couldn't imagine doing an entire cloud portertech: not a fan of pingdom, I usually just setup a remote app to monitor from the outside
http://wasitup.com/ is not too shabby up_the_irons: E100 line? Lefty: yeah, something the local providers offer, it's a 100Mbit ethernet port directly to the premises up_the_irons: nice!
where are you located? Lefty: 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
downtown Vancouver up_the_irons: ah cool henderb: 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 Lefty: I don't see the bills, so I have no idea
it's definitely more than "business"-grade cable/DSL, but generally the SLAs are much better
my last job had 10Mbit symmetrical fiber, with no transfer cap
it never went down in the five years I managed it up_the_irons: Lefty: what medium are they using to deliver the 100 Mpbs, fiber? copper? coax ;) Lefty: I believe it's fiber to the building, and then they distribute it via copper from the demarc downstairs up_the_irons: roger Lefty: really the only difference is the signalling used up_the_irons: yeah portertech: Lefty: nice, another vancouverite? ***: HighJinx has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)

local? Lefty: airg.com
on Melville ***: fink has quit IRC (Quit: fink) portertech: Lefty: nice, do you guys ever lend out your office space for local meetups? Lefty: Not that I know of, but I've only been here a couple of months portertech: relocated?
or just job swithc Lefty: recently hired ***: jpalmer has quit IRC (*.net *.split) jlgaddis: Lefty: i've used pingdom for quite a while and have been happy with them
you could always put a nagios box on an arp vps to monitor your external facing stuff -: jlgaddis might do just that in the near future ***: gift has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)

considering it for real-time notifications... ***: heavysixer has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
HighJinx has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) portertech: up_the_irons: I've played w/ it up_the_irons: portertech: any good? portertech: nice and lightweight, simple queuing
high throughput, since it all resides in memory
and you get some persistence
depending on settings up_the_irons: ah
interesting portertech: http://redis.io/topics/pubsub
<3 those docs up_the_irons: yup, already looking at those :)
the doc for the "ping" command is interactive ;) portertech: re persistence, only works when making your own fifo, not pub/sub up_the_irons: roger ***: heavysixer has joined #arpnetworks
