What's available to remotely monitor services? What I'd like is something that can run scripts for each service to connect to a port and verify that it's up, and then send me an SMS message (phone text) to let me know which, if any, are down.
Also, does a script exist that checks all the services listed by chkconfig and reports those that should be up but are down?
Not sure about the second one, but we used siteuptime.com at my last job for external checks, and I'm using the free version of pingdom to keep an eye on my VPS.
Both can be configured to check a port every X amount of time and report back.
Nagios is probably the most popular, and is pretty powerful and relatively easy to write your own plugins for.
I have to look at this in my new job in the next month or so. I'm going to have a look at Zenoss and if that does not pan out and nothing else turns up I'll fall back to Nagios.
Really there is not anything bad you can say about Nagios for this specific purpose other than that the web monitoring GUI is kind of ugly (or was in the last version I used about 2 years ago). But Zenoss advertises that it does this plus a number of other things I need so I could kill a few birds with one stone there.

We use nagios. I like the basic priciple of this software. Very simple theory. But you would need a software that can manage the configuration data.
Thanks, Yu
