Title: Re: [AFMUG] uptime monitoring
Steve,

OK just for shits and giggles I typed in the bad ip address
https://72.246.60.96 and got this from my browser

"Websites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust this site because it uses a certificate that is not valid for 72.246.60.96. The certificate is only valid for the following names: www.downloads.netgear.com, updates1.netgear.com, http.fw.updates1.netgear.com, arloupdates.netgear.com, updates.netgear.com, acupdatesdl2.netgear.com, acdownload.netgear.com, updates.arlo.com, kb1.netgear.com, acupdatesdl.netgear.com"

So, I'm going with my first guess that the netgear router is screwed.

If its on a fiber Ethernet system I would buy some older accedian metronids and put on either end. You can easily find them on ebay for ~$100 you can set up oam reporting on them. It will give you much more detail than a ping as you can set it up to set so many packets every x ms and it will track it and in what direction the error was. They are also great for running RFC2544 throughput tests.
other than that I would recommend vaping its a alternative to smokeping

I am at the mercy of another service provider at a couple of sites.  Lately they have been having big problems on their fiber system.

What is the best cheap and dirty program to just continually ping something and make a graph?  I attempted to do a trial of whatsup gold but it had a freaking huge SQL install that came along with it and I know they are going to want some money.  

I could write something simple to log up and down times but I am sure someone has already done it.  Really simple, ping something like Google DNS every 30 seconds.  If it is down, record the time.  When it comes back record the time.
