Server Monitoring
Discussion
Hu All
I have asked before but the products were a bit too expensive and in depth. I am basically after a really simple piece of software that can be installed on a server to send alerts if the server goes down or runs out of disk space. Dashboard would be nice as well as email alerts but don't really need all the other features the big products like solarwinds comes with.
Any ideas?
Thanks

phpservermon is about as simple as it gets.
You get a nice display of green if everything is ok.
It maintains a graph of server uptime etc.
It can send email alerts.
The first 2 never fail to impress management IMHO. :-)

Forgot about that one. Good shoutYou get a nice display of green if everything is ok.

I'd second PRTG for being free (for a small number of sensors) and very easy to setup and run.
Don't forget dependencies though, sounds kind of obvious but it's easy to sit there assuming all is well because you have no alerts, when all is not well because the thing that would send you alerts has broken.

I've been using StatusCake free for life allegedly and seems to be mopping up all the old pingdom customers.
