My company offers this very service .. but we are Southern California
centric.

The nuts .. a small agent is installed on servers, and it gathers SNMP
and/or WMI data and phones home on a regular intervals. If the data
indicates a problem or the system doesn't phone home, a relatively
customizable response protocol is engaged. It can also monitor various other
network devices including switches and firewalls, and I believe it can
monitor some applications and services such as terminal services, Exchange
and IIS.

If you are interested, contact me offline and I can ask about a Chicagoland
provider.

Folks:

Anyone have a recommendation for an external system monitoring service?

I know there are many available, I'm looking for a recommendation.

I need a service that will check various services and that they respond
correctly (not just a ping).

Thanks!

david
