You can use HTTP content to pull up a web page. If it fails to find what you are looking for, it will let you know. We use What's Up Gold and it lets is know if we have a DB error or CF problems on a server.

I used to have an application that would look up a URL and compare it to a memorised copy of the page and report if it had changed, this could be used to diferentiate a failed http server and simply a failed CF server. Unfortunately I can't remember what it was called. -- Jay -----Original Message----- From: Robert Munn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 22 May 2006 23:57 To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Server monitoring Have you looked at WhatsUp Gold? I don't know if it maps completely to what you need, but it's worth a look. On 5/22/06, James Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have a need for some server monitoring software.
