Monitor internet up/down
-
Good day
I am trying to figure out a way to monitor if my internet is down or up.
I would like to configure notifications that notifies me when for what ever reason my internet goes down and then online again.
Regards

Hi there,
Do you have a server plugged into your router? Is this a residential setup? If you're really interested in doing it with netXMS, you could add "8.8.8.8" as a node (the Google DNS server, which should never go down). Whenever that node is unreachable, you don't have internet.
As a sidenote, I'm sure there are other ways to do this that don't involve netXMS, but they might involve working with your router or some scripting, so if you're not super comfortable with that netXMS is a reasonable solution.
Hope that helps!

Hi There
Thanx for the info. I actually did it the exact way as you suggested. Funny thing you would not believe how unstable 8.8.8.8 is. Node actually goes down alot with my internet still working.
Regards
