[AusNOG] Monitoring ULL drops on AAPT MBE connections

[Luke Iggleden]

If you have access to run a command over SSH you could setup nagios or 
some monitoring software to exec a ssh command on a remote server/client:

wget -O /dev/null http://some.host.in.your.dc/file.100MB.bin

in the early hours of the morning when you know there is no traffic on 
each client, if the script doesn't return within x amount of seconds 
then its running suboptimal, email from monit back to create a ticket 
for someone to investigate.

Would need some tuning for each client depending on the speed of the 
original deployment.

Just a thought.

Cheers,

L
