I've been looking around at external monitoring services for our various public facing services. We're an MSP and have users around the country, and want to basically know when things are dead before our customers call us. Our needs are pretty boring. All I really want is geographically distributed external monitoring that does:
I didn't think this was that crazy of a list of requirements, but apparently it is, as all of the "cheaper" monitoring services I've found tend to somehow manage to fail at least one of those (pingdom doesn't do SSL certificate monitoring, Monitis can't apparently provide info on why a check failed, etc). In past lives, I've used fancier pantsier monitoring for SaaS systems that are full blown user experience monitors, and while that would be nice to have for some of our stuff, at the moment we just need some basic visibility into uptime monitoring/basic performance. Anyone have any suggestions for hosted services? I've looked at:
I also wouldn't be opposed to doing some kind of DIY monitoring solution that we just stash in the cloud in various locations (via AWS or Azure or something) as long as it's reliable and not a pain in the rear end to use. Maneki Neko fucked around with this message at 20:24 on Aug 7, 2014 |

Scaramouche posted:Hmm, I've never done that before. Do you mean monitoring if it expires? These guys might do it: Yeah, checking for expiration/validity. Dotcom-monitor is on my list of things to look at.
