Server Monitoring Software (Mobile Alerts?)
Hi everybody,
I'm looking for a network / server monitoring solution that alerts / pages me in the case of a server failure or shutdown.
I'd like a way to either get a phone call, an SMS text, or a high importance email alert. I do not however, want it to "page" me aka I don't want to carry a pager. I'd like something compatible with a current generation cell phone.
That being said, I guess ideally it'd have to be hosted somewhere else, or it'd have to be able to dial out via modem line in the case that our network goes down. Not sure how we'd be alerted in we had a power outage if it was hosted on our end though.

Don't know if you can alter the priorities, but r-u-on.com (.org?) is what I use for my own systems. 10 systems free, I believe. Higher end capabilities if you want to pay.

Hmm, r-u-on seems to do what I need it to, but these rules aren't exactly fully customizable to what I want. There's no way to set how many times it notifies you when a server is down.

We use a system called Whats Up Gold from Ipswitch along with a SMS system called SysManSMS server which works eprfectly, it's fairly cheap and works quite well. That being said, we have a UPS which is able to keep our systems alive for 15 mins, which is plenty of time to have our SMS server spam our phones with alerts.
