  • This is a remote monitoring service.

    Quoted: Keynote Red Alertâ„¢ is an easy-to-use, highly reliable Web monitoring service that checks your Web applications at least four times each hour, and notifies you whenever they become inaccessible, return incorrect data, or respond slowly to connection requests.

    And some other ones:

    http://www.alertsite.com

    It's amazing how much they charge to just run a rule that periodically makes a web request and verifies the response.

      We use Keynote on MSN Search. They give you way more than a simple check up. They can hit your site from multiple network locations around the world with multiple network connection speeds. They also provide breakdown of time spent on DNS lookup, first byte, last byte, css/js/img download time, and an amazing set of stats. For startups they are insanely overpriced and not worth it, but for a large site with hundreds of million of PV it is a must have.

      i've written similar software when i was on the mom team at microsoft. from a software development perspective, most of those stats are not too difficult to obtain. the 'difficult' part is that they host the service for you and that they hit you from multiple locations. i'm certainly willing to pay..but the price of $20/rule/month or $80/multi-step rule/month seems quite steep especially in the web 2.0 world!
