I started with a copy of the Servers Alive HTML templates Ver. 2.0 that are provided on the following site www.ulbrink.dk/toolbox
Check out the Sample on the url above for an idea. I used the code as a starting point as I liked the way this had been implemented. I have changed the code so that my page only shows the groups I have set up, and if there are down conditions these are shown below the relative group, all other entries are not displayed by default, they can however be viewed by clicking the Show Group on the right hand side of the screen, so that you can see all check result when required, as in the original template. I now have a single screen that has 20 different groups, and I only get DOWN conditions showing, therefore when everything is OK, or on Maintenance, I have just a single webpage with nothing other than the group names showing. I have also added the number of checks that are either UP / DOWN / MAINTENANCE, similar to the way it is displayed if you are looking at the interface I am note a programmer, but if you would like a copy of my code to use as a starting point, mail me off list, I take no credit for the programming I have just used the examples in the original templates to fit my modest requirement.

I could really use that is there a template for that? Or just a specific command? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gerry Aquino Sent: Monday, December 06, 2004 6:43 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SA-list] Monitoring query Andy, Maybe this isn't exactly waht you are looking for but it may work. How about your remote support staff run the 10 check free version of SA to monitor the web page you view your status on looking for a "down". I do something similar in that I have a status page that shows a specific image with the number of down entries. The image is only shown when a down condition exists. I can monitor that status page for that image with another machine running SA and send out alerts from that machine as well. There is some time delay because you are checking on a page that needs to be generated first but you can have the second machine check every minutse if you want as it only checks one item. Just a thought, works for me.
