Hi All,

I'm thinking of building a free service which will check the status of
your servers/services. It'll probably be based on Nagios and will have
a completely automated web-based frontend. Thus far I've only been
able to find quasi-free services on the internet, and most only do ping
checks. I'm intending to make a fully capable system that will not
only do ping checks, but also http, ssh, ftp and other misc tcp checks.
It'd work by my server sending a request to yours and reading the
response. If it's what's expected then all is good. If not, an alert
would be sent to you via email, IM or SMS/Pager.

To be researched: SMSes aren't free, so I'd probably suggest people
buy a package of SMSes from a company like ClickaTel and enter their
details on the administration interface, so that the notification
system can use their own SMSes. I'd probably use a service like
Clickatel - http://www.clickatell.com/brochure/pricing.php
Naturally, this would be optional. If anyone has a better idea, I'm
all ears.

Anyway, I'm trying to gauge interest in this project. I want to make
sure people will actually use it if I put the time and effort into
making it. I've put together a little expression of interest page,
please visit it and have your say. http://freemon.blits.com.au

I was inspired by the fantastic service offered by the blokes at
http://freedns.afraid.org - thanks!!

It will be good to have a reliable FREE web site monitoring service.
Today i have removed my sites from one monitoring service as it used to
send me false alerts, every time, when i get this wrong alerts, i have
to check my web sites and most of the time forum the servers are
working well. Wrong alerts (may be network problem at monitoring side
or their server is overloaded) only help in increasing tension.
