m0unds: haha, staticsafe - my outfit on connery was assigned a squad for the emerald vs connery server smash on 9/6 :)
staticsafe: nice
m0unds: i won't be able to do it because i'm working though. grrrrrrr.
staticsafe: :(
mnathani: Whats a really good hosted monitoring tool / service? Doesnt have to be free. I am looking to run checks on web, mail, dns servers etc + up/down host notifications
brycec: To clarify, does it have to be 3rd-party, versus setting up your own off-site monitoring?
m0unds: umm, people seem to like pingdom for RUM and uptime monitoring
but munin hosted on another box grabbing data from the boxes being monitored would work too
i've heard good things about this svc: https://www.serverdensity.com/server-monitoring/
brycec: Does ARP use such a service? Or am I just confusing the paging service? up_the_irons
mnathani: brycec: for setting up my own, nagios or icinga would probably be the way to go. However, I am looking for a reliable 3rd party to monitor specific services, kind of like a hosted nagios.
mercutio: mnathani: there's nodeping and pingdom
there are a few more probably too.
***: jcv has joined #arpnetworks
m0unds: i use exactstate for uptime monitoring. i think they can do some limited svc testing too (internet-exposed svcs)
up_the_irons: brycec: i use pagerduty
brycec: Do they monitor individual services, a la mnathani's question?
up_the_irons: brycec: no, we have an internal nagios that upon certain failures will alert pagerduty
brycec: up_the_irons: what happens when s* go down and ARP is in the dark?
up_the_irons: brycec: pingdom also monitors some things and alerts pagerduty. pingdom, being offsite (obviously) and running tests in multiple locations, provides enough alerting for our "oh shitballs" scenario
brycec: So that's another +1 to Pingdom
up_the_irons: yeah
mnathani: Thanks: mercutio brycec up_the_irons & m0unds - Some interesting services / solutions I need to check out
jbergstroem: m0unds: adding first2know.net to the mix
"only" http/ping/dns but thats a feature in my book :)
