That is what we decided here too. We currently use www.serviceuptime.com for an off-site (free) monitor service. We felt external monitoring would notify us whether it was a comm, subsystem/job, power problem or ... etc, compared to just checking from the system i.

Good Luck.

I would like to do something offsite if possible. I don't want to rely on
testing from the iseries since that might be the problem.

Subject: Re: how to tell if website hosted on iseries is down

Which do you mean?

There are services on the internet (free and pay) that can monitor a url,
and email you when its availability drops and comes back up. (for instance
an isp/comm problem)

Or... do you mean monitoring the qhttpsvr subsystem to see if the
webinstance jobs are running?

Our iSeries is hosting a website (apache).



I would like to know when the website is down.



What would be the best way to handle this?
