I need a way to see if a computer at a remote location is still online. Ideally, I want some software I can install on a monitoring system that polls given IP/ports at programmable intervals... automatically... and displays some kind of alert when it fails to get through to a given system.
It would also be nice if it could tell the difference between it's own internet connection dropping and someone else's... by for example polling something that simply doesn't go down... like google or 4.2.2.2 or something... ie, don't alert me that a given system has gone down if you also can't get to google and 4.2.2.2 as well... instead tell me the internet is out...
Anyway, that's my wish list... anyone know of a program that can do anything like that?
