I have written a perl script (!) which will monitor the network & integrate this script with SMS Server Tools. What it does is check the network in every 5 mins. If any host down sms it to me with host name and down time. If the host up again it sms me the uptime. In the script following perl module are used :
use File::Copy;
use File::stat;
use DBI;
use Net::Ping::External qw(ping);
Hostnames are taken from MySql Database. Database has the followind table structure:
+——————-+———————+———+——-+————-+————————+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+——————-+———————+———+——-+————-+————————+
| sl_no | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
| ip_address | varchar(15) | YES | | NULL | |
| flag | varchar(1) | YES | | NULL | |
| description | varchar(100) | YES | | NULL | |
