The upgrade will take place on the 33rd weekend (between the 15th and 17th of August).

• Nagios monitoring system deployed

  Nagios (www.nagios.org) is an open-source host, service, and network monitoring program designed to inform users of network problems before end users do. The monitoring function runs intermittent checks on hosts and services by using external plug-ins that return status information to Nagios. When problems are discovered, the program sends notifications out to administrative contacts in a variety of ways, from email to SMS. Current status information, historical logs, and reports can all be accessed through a Web browser. All shared and dedicated servers at all2all are now monitored 24/7 by a dedicacted health checking server system.
