<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=979282714-18082004>I am looking at the
monitoring and see some great capabilities, but need some reporting power.
As I am sure most of you have in your environments, there are redundant systems
and we need to report uptime statistics of services. I was wondering if
someone has found a way to do this better than parsing the
logs.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=979282714-18082004>An example of what I
am trying to do is to have something setup, maybe a separate service or
service group, that we would be able to identify a specific service from and
have dependencies on all the servers that run the service. This would be
for things like mail or dns. Mail is sometimes easier since we can monitor
the cluster link, but dns generally works on a failover basis. Any help
would be great.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
