Ping to Server

[supervegeta]

Hi

I'm looking for software that can basically let me know when the Server goes down. I monitor about 4-12 Servers daily.

I cannot seem to remember what software we used at our previous company. There was a 'happy face' when the line was good and a 'sad face' when the line was down.

And we monitored up to 15 site throughout SA like this.

Any other software would also help?

Thanks

If you're prepared to pay for something, have a look at Alchemy Eye. It does more than simple server heartbeat monitoring.
