I use one personally for testing and to monitor my websites, friends websites, our email and dns services, etc. Also I use it to monitor our corporate Nagios servers as a sanity check. :-) -- Mat W. - <A href="http://www.techadre.com/">http://www.techadre.com</A> <HR id=stopSpelling> Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2009 15:43:57 -0400 From: shadhin71@gmail.com To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] monitoring external internet connectivity All, What is the best way to check if our network has connection to commodity internet or not. What I am trying to achieve is to ensure internal network has connection to Internet. One thing is to ping google check. Is this a good idea or can someone suggest a better way to do this. Please advise on this.
