SPECIFIC USES / BONUS URLs:
R-U-ON (use sensor / agent software to monitor CPU/memory/HD use...)
PA SERVER MONITOR (use sensor / agent software to monitor a lot of infos ???)
SERVERDENSITY (use sensor / agent software to monitor a lot of infos



This paid service sucks !
MONITORSITE.NET



Goodbye to...
PERISCOPEIT.CO.UK SUCKS (a free service OK but "click to start your free trial" + no answer from my comment hmmmm....)



Quick test is done (during about 3 hours) by:
- destroying an hidden test webpage to create a 404 error,
- creating a virtual network error by changing IP and TTL of an usued "www." URL for monitoring services which only test main sites

Next step to this document is to describe how monitor service considers remote server as down (a 404 error is sufficent ? any HTTP code ? only a ping ?...)
