I'm just curious on something here. One of our partners uses
www.pingdom.com to monitor their sites, which are hosted on our
servers. They have it set to check response times once a minute. It
seems to be decent at telling us when our sites go down, but its
recovery time is horrible. For instance, today Apache wouldn't restart
properly on a server, and was down for less than a minute. It had been
restarted properly for a full three minutes before the alerts started,
and they continued for a full 20 minutes. In the past several months,
this seems to be the norm.
I've been looking for reviews in Google of Pingdom, but I have yet to
find anything other than reviews from Pingdom of other sites, and
reviews from sites that read like they've been paid for a good review.
Has anyone else been subjected to this service? Am I really the only
person in the world that doesn't like them?
I'm currently using it on a web site for work. We have never really had
that type of problem. Get the alerts when the site is down. So yeah that
sounds kind of odd.
