Today I did something useful – I set up a nagios to track some things that I’m interested in, and I think to expand the machines and services that it monitors, to be useful to some system and network administrators to have a view from the outside on some things. The second stage of this is to run it at some more places, to have a broader view.

Somebody could ask what’s the point, because most big networks have such a system of their own. I’ll give one example with something that happened yesterday (or the day before?) – from FMI’s network www.fmi.uni-sofia worked perfectly, but from outside it worked with 10 seconds delay (sometimes – more). This kind of problem cannot be detected from a monitoring machine inside the network, and a lot of people don’t have an easy way to have a monitoring machine outside their own network.

So, whomever is interested – ludost.net/nagios, user guest, no password. If someone wants something added to the list of monitored hosts/services (and that’s not something like his machine at home), write to me, with the full path between it and marla (as a list of autonomous systems and routers).

(see especially Status map, I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time…)
