Does anyone know what monitoring software would allow us to have a page such as http://httpme.com ? Is that something custom or is it something that is included with some piece of software?

We setup nagios to test it but it does have the ability for a live stats page.

Thanks

I assume you mean this page:

http://status.httpme.com/

There are a lot of different programs you can use to do this, most require some customization to get the page the way you want, I personally like Penemo:

http://www.penemo.org/

If you are a PHP fan, take a look at Online Server Status:

http://www.schwebdesigns.com/serverstatus/

(though this will require some customization to check all services). I am sure there are other scripts out there that provide closer functionality to the one on HTTPME

Yes.

I was hoping to find something that we could also use for our dedicated customers and give them a URL that just had their servers on it. So far nagios is the only one I know that can do that.

If you want bandwidth reports, not service status, there is MRTG (http://www.mrtg.org/). Nagios also does what you want, and is a great program.

Yep, nagios is a great program. It works really well...

I think the httpme status page is a modified version of the one available at the bottom of this page (http://scripts.tlcwe.com/).

here's my code, save it as something.php, you need a red and green .gif image or edit the code to whatever you want.

Edit the $box line to add more servers, and the $port line to add more ports to check

EDIT: my test/play script is still online, copy the gifs off it if you want
