Any suggestions for a reliable monitoring service?
The people at Pingdom appear to spend all their time on their blog. At
least half of the alerts I get from them are false positives - though
not always as hilarious as this one.
Hi Graham,
After a trial of Pingdom, I ended up going with Panopta for our
monitoring at work - they were a bit cheaper but more importantly for me
much more flexible in the way you set up the reporting (you can say
exactly who receives a notification, by what method and when).
Only false positives I've had were when I forgot to define a maintenance
window when taking the server down (which of course isn't a false
positive :)
