hey guys, anyone know of any free scripts that allow you to monitor uptime status of your servers, local/remote? most simplistically, just have one server that pings / http requests from other servers to see if they're online, and generates stats. more ideally, be able to set up multiple checking nodes (like what host-tracker does) so it can check uptime of multipel servers from multiple locations and build reports. any ideas?

Paessler PRTG 7 (free edition) would be able to do that also

Why not? It will provide you with a much more comprehensive view of what is available than a few posts.

I second nagios, works great.. but it can be a pain to configure.

Dittos to PRTG 7. We use enterprise version in-house for all our client monitoring.
