Hi guys,

there has been alot of talk concerning security, availability and what 
to do in case of X. I thought it could be useful to get Availability 
Monitoring going for a better insight into OpenNIC (I'm just a newbie 
too), before proposing anything.

To get a basic insight I configured a Smokeping for us, have a look and 
provide feedback if you like:

This is just a rough sketch of what we could do. It could be extended 
to generate daily,weekly, monthly and yearly availability charts on a 
nice frontend site. Also it needs some scalability tweaking. Good for 
us, that all has already been done. Its possible to extend with slave 
monitoring servers for more accurate average lantencies too.

The Targets are regenerated based on a script, you can get here:

Keep in mind, it's all development quality, so feedback is needed.

From my point of view, we could extend this with a weathermap showing 
the topology thats generated from here 
(http://wiki.opennic.glue/OpenNIC_Topology_Graphics), but with fancier 
icons and the correct edge direction.

Greets,
Falk
