Re: external system monitor to verify all services up

I like PRTG from Paessler AG for this. It also graphs and charts etc. Will email notifications on outages, restorals, over limits, etc.

It can get pretty detailed like actually going to a URL and verify that it can get a file.

It can verify access to FTP, Telnet, SSH, SMTP and a lot more.

Powerful stuff.

Disclaimer: I don't sell it, get a commission from it, or even know a single person that works there. It's just good goo.

It would need to be external so if IP is down, an alert can be generated.
Does the HMC have this capability? Needs to be able to send text alert or
email.

We have a 7 hour (midnight to 7am) incident where the ENDTCPSVR command was
stuck on a NFS issue, so part of system still up, but part was down.
