You needed support?

Its a corporate thing but with 100,000 plus hosts to monitor it is advisable plus we found some problems with it which required some changes and they refused to do them. Went to another solution and they included the changes we required (then again, its diddley squat to do with me as it doesn't work on the platform I work with.)

Prolly not in practice but BigCorp likes to have support someone to point the finger at.

And someone big enough to sue if the brown stuff hits the fan.

Got ya. I use several different tools and some scripting of my own to augment security. Never had any issues with monitoring tools.

We dropped it as support was more expensive than a bought product.

It's 1/4 odds that the second Admin slams the car and is out of mobile signal the server goes down.

Cheers for the offer, got Nagios monitoring the machines so should get texted and emailed if it goes down. Mods got my number too and the have let me know in the past if problems too. You can always email webmaster AT forums.contractoruk.com as well if you ever feel the need

Sorry for the outage, machine was playing up a bit last week so software all upgraded and machine rebooted. Had uptime of 252 days so think it needed a kick, disk checks take forever on these boxes

Am off to the Whipsnade in a minute with the little admins so fingers crossed it won't cause me too much hassle while I'm out...
