[Outages-discussion] Idea to help with the S/N on outages...

[Haworth, Michael A.]

Just adding my humble suggestion - hoping not to get flamed - smokeping (low resource usage) on a box sitting in 'Somewhere, US' managed by (insert poor unlucky soul here) with the results page posted to the outages.org website...

I could be wrong - it could be a pain to do, but it would provide basic latency/availability data for any node requested - licensing is priced right and resource usage is fairly minimal for any connection that would host the service.

I'm not sure if it could be 'clustered' to show results from different geological locations, but if (possibly) three or four were running identical configs with their results links posted on the outages.org website, it could server the same purpose for all involved?

Just my 2 cents,
Michael Haworth
