I have a number of
services I'm monitoring that are dependent on our internet connection and I'm
wondering what others are doing to establish in a map their internet connection
is up. I tried monitoring our ISP's DNS servers and those seem to be really
unstable for some reason when I monitor them only using the DNS service. (UDP
port 53?)
In any case, can
anyone share a recommended strategy for monitoring internet connectivity? I'm
getting to the point where we get an onslaught of down messages when our pipe
goes down... yuck.. thanks.
