We have our offsite location checking back to internal site. And it sends out through Internet if communication is lost. We get false positives occasionally but that is better than not knowing it was down.

Greetings, I used to be part of the old Lyris/Sunbelt community, but I have been out of IT administration for several years. I was a PM in that time, and just recently came back to IT. A situation arose this weekend where I could use your advice. We use SolarWinds for network, server, and application monitoring, and it works very well for us. Our core switch went down this weekend, severing all external communications, so SolarWinds could not send alerts to external resources. Do you use any kind of remote external monitoring that would send an alert if communications go down? Thank you!
