[Nagios-users] Monitoring Co-op

[Scottie T. <Sco...@pt...>]

I have searched the archives of this list, and several places on the web
to see if Nagios users have talked about helping each other out by
monitoring each other's core critical network routers...I haven't found
any info. The problem is essentially the catch-22: my core router is
down and I want Nagios to shoot email to a pager, but Nagios can't get
to the Internet anymore. So, some have configured Nagios to fire up a
modem and send out a page via SMS; or maybe some are paying for an
external service to monitor those core routers...

But, is anybody interested in monitoring 3 of my servers (via a simple
ping) in exchange for me monitoring a few of yours? We can talk details
offline...

Also, if anyone is already doing this I would be very interested on
feedback about tips and pitfalls from this type of thing. TIA.
