    Wow that looks cool, surprised by some of the results there too.

    I like it; self-coded? If so... mind if I have a copy? ;']

    Looks like a two-way tie to me :)

    @eastonch said: I like it; self-coded?

    Yes.

    If so... mind if I have a copy? ;']

    Eventually. The Bash backend needs more testing (the purpose of the site) and the PHP is incomplete. It would help if someone would go offline for a while ;)

    ?

  • HalfEatenPieHalfEatenPie Member

    Anyone ever watched Terminator?

    Skynet because it can self-code itself and therefore gain consciousness! (then try to kill us all)

    @HalfEatenPie How is the status script going to take over the world exactly?

  • eastoncheastonch Member

    @sleddog just point it to a vps you own, turn it off.

  • AsadAsad Member

    @sleddog How exactly are you doing the checks? If you don't mind me asking.

    Bash script using pung.

    A test goes something like this:

    • pung the IP with default timeout of 5 seconds
    • if it times out, check that internet access is OK
    • if OK, sleep 5 seconds and retry the IP
    • if it fails a second time, log it as failed and move on to the next IP

    Internet access check:

    • select two hosts from a list of 'high-availability' hosts: google.com, twitter.com, yahoo.com, etc.
    • pung the first one
    • if it fails, sleep 5 seconds and pung the second one
    • if it also fails, log internet access as failed and exit

    Can providers be added upon request?

    Sure. I've just been picking them from the offers and aiming for geographic diversity.

    If you're interested, you can ping some of my geographic diverse boxes too (I am just a client, no hoster). Have you seen my (unrelated) PM here btw?

  • JacobJacob Member

    You for real? Where am I.... ;)

    You're in the UK! Get your bearings!

    I have now, and replied :)

    Glad we got that sorted....

  • prometeusprometeus Member, Host Rep

    Wow! I see we are now monitored! (just a small correction prometeus is without "h") :)

    Thanks

    I know that this might be difficult to code but it would be fantastic if you could add the ability to talk between two (or more ) instance of your script as part of the check sequence. I.e. the instance in chicago talk with another instance in london or los angeles to have confirmation of a down or severe packet loss...

  • AmitzAmitz Member

    Does not look too good for ChicagoVPS in Buffalo today. My VPS there is unreachable and the Pung Monitor shows the same...

    Oops, fixed :)

  • jcalebjcaleb Member

    How to ping a provider on port 80? Is it just wget the index of the site?

    One way I am thinking is, if its SQL-LITE based, then just git commit the db file at some interval. then a master one just pull the sql lite from diff location and consolidate.

    It's pung, not ping :) No data is transferred.
