To all, Does any one know a Vendor (NOT Keynote) that can do sanity checks against your web/smtp/ftp farms with pings, traceroutes, latency checks as well as application checks (GET, POST, ESMTP, etc) Thank you, Philip
Pingdom will do most of what you're looking for (www.pingdom.com). We're quite fond of them after a bad Keynote experience. -brandon On Thu, Feb 3, 2011 at 12:04 PM, Philip Lavine <source_route@yahoo.com>wrote:

Depends on whether you're monitoring SLA or performance from remote locations. There's also webmetrics (acquired by neustar sometime back) - http://www.webmetrics.com -- Suresh Ramasubramanian (ops.lists@gmail.com)

You can easily ask them to take that out. Never had an issue with them removing that from their contracts. In fact, there has never been any part of their aup, tos, or any other agreement that they were not willing to change to meet our needs. *shrugs* Your millage may vary. ~J
We've been pretty happy with Pingdom. They do latency with all the healthchecks...give pretty nice history graphs of latency and uptime. They'll do automatic traceroutes when a check hard fails (I.e. 3 fails from 3 different geographic locations). -J -------- Jason J. W.

Slight hijack, I'm interested in the answer to this question, but I'm also wondering about a service that will actually phone you (or is there a reliable text/e-mail->phone call service?) I'd appreciate actually being phoned overnight if something dies drastically to the outside world!

A bit different, but if you are looking for something that works a bit before the problem becomes visible to the user, check: http://www.avonsys.com/Application+Monitoring

I used Avonsys before for monitoring. You can have Keynote, Gomez, homegrown tool etc but you still need someone with clue on how to interpret it, verify alerts, find odd performance problems etc. Contact me off list if you want reference. Zaid
I've been using Site24x7 for some time now and am very pleased with them, plus their pricing is very reasonable.
