We have around 5 different apps, written in c#, vb6 and asp all of which can make API calls, or webpage calls etc. They are installed on many different locations/computers.
We would like a 3rd SASS hosted system that these apps can report to once per minute, saying “yes we are still running”
We want a dashboard, showing an alive or not status, and maybe even an alert email if one app breaks/stops speaking out to your system, for more then x min.
It sounds a pretty simple system, but the ones I have looked at include far more than this.
Does anyone know of any system like this?
We run on the windows platform and asp.net webspace (installing extra SW on all these computers is not really an option, but a call within our own sw is)
In simple terms
I want all out apps to connect to lets say
http://www.alertfakeaddy.com/reporter.php?appname=xx&location=xx&message=working
http://www.alertfakeaddy.com/reporter.php?appname=xx&location=xx&message=error-point1
http://www.alertfakeaddy.com/reporter.php?appname=xx&location=xx&message=error-point2
or use an api in the same some of manner
once per mine
and an alerter to check these messages, for error or lack of message, and email etc, if that happens
if such a service exists, perhaps £50-70 a month would be what we are looking for
