Dirk - based on this - here's an idea for a new feature in
SA:
Allow user to create a new check and use "[*]" as the
"Server name or IPX address".
Then, upon SAVE, SA would pop up a list of all the
"Server name or IPX addresses" it has already in the file and allow you to check
one or mo
We do a variety of checks that look at hardware,
environment and business processes.
Examples beyond the normal disk space/ping/ checks
include:
Number and/or age of unprocessed files in a "pick-up"
directory for batch processes.
Undeliverable messages from an SMTP server
Busy/failure r
In addition what has already been mentioned, we use SNMP to monitor the
temperature in our server room.

I suppose you could open the appropriate ports on a point-to-point basis,
from the inside network (where you SA server is now) through the firewall

What about items located in a DMZ? I've got an OWA in there and get down errors when trying to Ping, DNS, and check the http://mail.mydomain.com/exchange website. Is there a special configuration for these devices? I ask because I have others I haven't gotten too yet.

Is this a batch file you created in-house or an app?

I have a similar requirement however I bring up a site
like this on a daily basis with maybe 8 dependent checks. I never got a
satisfactory answer on this list.
I basically created my own system to create the hosts
file from scratch by quering a database of sites and checks I'd like done.
Does anyone do anything with SNMP and
Servers Alive? Particularly with DELL servers?

Correct, but you can ofcourse create the SQL statement so

The other thing to realize is that when the results of your
