    Looks like a two-way tie to me :)

    Yes.

    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 ;)

    ?

  • 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?

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

  • @eastonch said: just point it to a vps you own, turn it off.

    Did lots of that :)

  • AsadAsad Member

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

  • BlueVMBlueVM Member

    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

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

  • @sleddog said: 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?

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

    You're in the UK! Get your bearings!

  • @djvdorp said: Have you seen my (unrelated) PM here btw?

    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.
