What servers do you have? Unix boxes, Windows boxes? If you just need to know if the hardware is up and running, make a simple script that will periodically ping all the machines, and if they don't respond, send an alert. That is as simple as that, but note that it just checks health of the server as whole - if some service fails, you won't be notified. Maybe if you tell us a little bit more about your servers - at least what OS they're running and what should be monitored? -- Radoslav Dejanovic Senior Associate to Mayor's Office City of Zagreb, Croatia
