Try Netsaint, a *service* monitoring tool. Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org To: Fernando Schapachnik cc: isp@freebsd.org 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.
