Dear Sir,

You might like to look at Netsaint (version 6), a service monitoring tool with a
browser interface by Ethan Galstad at http:/./www.netsaint.org.

While Big Brother letts you know how much disk a host has etc, Netsaint can do
execute service checks that simulate the use of a service - depending on the
service - by a user.

My employer uses Netsaint to monitor/simulate

. DHCP address lease
. NT domain logon
. filling out web forms (an Oracle database application with the Oracle
Application server [shudder] frontend)
. Internet searches
. RADIUS/CHAP challenge

It's up to you to write or get the more useful service checks but there are many
around and they are easy to write.

Netsaint also accumulates availability (host and service) statistics.

Thank you,

Yours sincerely.
