Folks,
I'm currently writing about SA for a magazine article. One area where
the various 'big boy' monitoring systems beat SA hands down is being
able to monitor from, say, two or three different locations, and only
alert if all of them agree that a server is down. That way you eliminate
any errors caused by the connectivity of the monitoring point.
But this got me thinking.... I wonder whether it could be 'mocked up'
by using SA's ability to generate a Web page of results, and using this
to co-ordinate between monitoring points.
i.e. at Monitoring Point C you'd have a series of rules saying:
- If Server Z is down
- Then if Monitoring Point A says that Server Z is down
- Then if Monitoring Point B says that Server Z is down
- Raise an alert.
Anyway, I was just wondering whether anyone on the mailing list
has done anything like this? Or whether anyone can see a flaw in
my logic (other than the fact that it would be a REAL pig to set up
the rules - how I wish that SA could be driven from a scripting
language!)
Thanks,
P.
