What exactly about the website are you trying to monitor? What kind of agents do you prefer? What kind of notifications do you prefer? Do you need something extensible, that you can write your own modules/agents for? In what language? For the money (free), you can't beat Nagios. It far outperforms SiteScope many other commercial monitoring packages. It can take a bit of time to configure, but it is NOT difficult. It's written in Perl, so if you're a perl hacker, you'll feel right at home. And even if you're not, the basic agents should suffice. Of course, if you just want something to monitor basic signs of life, it would be trivial to write something in shell/perl/expect that would a) ping the site or b) connect to 80 and perform a GET and c) evaluate the output for accuracy. -- Jason Dixon, RHCE DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
