[AusNOG] Network Monitoring via Email/SMS

monitive.com is quite good for an external/third party solution. They
have POPs in Australia and Asia as well and support email, SMS, and
push-notifications to smartphones for a variety of useful network tests
(ping, smtp, http, ftp, dns, etc...)

Why would anyone use SMS?

There are loads of external monitoring services, or you could just get
your own colo elsewhere (like I do) and have that email you.

The assumption is that your email service is independent of your
network (i.e. Gmail, etc.) or you could always setup a secondary email
account on your device specifically for monitoring.

SMS can be expensive and there is barely any reason to use it at all.

Hi Guys


I was wondering if anybody could point me in the way of some monitoring
for our IP Space


We would like a service that checks our IP ranges to ensure they are
online  more importantly our routers, and at the first sign of any
issues it will send an email and / or SMS messages


I know a few different other software such as PRTG and what not,  But
wondering if somebody could point me in a better direction?
