Re: external system monitor to verify all services up

Or any of it's free forks like Icinga. Any of those can be configured to
fetch a file, run a program (said program could test functionality of a
server for example). etc. Nice tool, but from what i've used all NAGIOS
derived software is hard to setup

Nagios. It's very reasonably priced and easy to set up.

Subject: external system monitor to verify all services up

Looking for an external system monitor to verify all the services up:
telnet
ftp
http
lpd
smtp
snmp
etc

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.
