Anyone know any good software to track uptime and server performance.

I looking to make a webhost review site and I want to track performance of the host.

Nagios is great but a pain to setup. Nagios: Home

Servers alive is also great. Network Monitoring, Free Network monitor, Woodstone Servers Alive, POPPager the best networking tools and services

I would not recommend any third party ones being that the good ones are just way over priced.

Well-organized, apt for the network administrators to whom it's directed, and accurate

This is server based and you don't have to install on your PC. The povider is SiteUptime . You can use it for free. For a more comprehensive tracking, you have to pay.

I use InternetSeer to monitor my websites, it's not free but a very good service, if my site is down, i get email notification and they even say why is it down. they when its back online they email again saying how much as it offline in total and other log details.

If you have access to your web server log files, that could be a direct source of information on how your server is performing. For instance, check the log files recorded by your web server Apache.

Try moni.tor.us . I have been using this free web based site uptime monitor . Its testing servers are situated in two different continents thus a better picture of of your server performance can be generated.

hmm but you mean your own servers uptime right? or you mean a remote servers uptime by pinging?

quite interesting...i was not knowing about this before....

It is actually your own server uptime. Remote servers will ping your server. It has other service monitoring service coverage which is free of charge. It is much better than the free service of SiteUptime.

The best way is to use a third party server monitoring site. However you can use a client based application which you have to install on your PC. However that means that your PC should be running 7/24 to come up with a good monitoring result.
