[mrtg] ping? email

[Cook, Garry]

MRTG is mainly about performance monitoring. If you want fault monitoring, you can probably do it with MRTG, I've seen several scripts and whatnot in the past, but I would recommend the correct tool for the job. You should look at something like Nagios instead. http://www.nagios.org/

Thanks,
Garry

I have MRTG collecting information from different routers and
switches at this time, now want to add email when servers go down.

What would be the best way to do this?

thanks
