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

[Frank Bulk]

I don't think outages.org is seeking to compete with Keynote or Pingdom.
The value in the listserv is the interactive discussion of issues once these
third-party or your own monitoring systems identify what appears to be a
problem.  Unless we had a some kind of monitoring device on every router on
the Internet, many of the issues would be too local to the reporter to be
seen with a handful of monitoring nodes.

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
