{bb} Remote Monitor with Big Brother

[Joseph Karam <jkaram@hamilton.edu>]

Folks,

We are currently using Big Brother to monitor all of our internal 
network equipment and servers for any problems.  The system is stable 
and working well.  However, if the big brother system dies or the 
network is down, we have no way of getting alerts for problems (we don't 
want to use a modem to send out pages).

Is there another organization out there (preferably using Big Brother 
also) who would be willing to monitor 4-5 systems on our network for us 
and have their system alert us if they go down.  Basically, we would 
need our Internet router, internal router, mail server, web server, and 
big brother system monitored.  If you are using Big Brother I can send 
you a sample hosts file and the changes needed in your bbwarnsetup and 
bbwarnrules files.  You can setup a custom page on your system for us 
and configure the system to only send us alerts for our systems so you 
don't get bothered if something is down.

We would be willing to monitor a few of your systems remotely also.  It 
is alot cheaper than paying for a service :-)

Thanks-

Joe
