Simple self-hosted website monitoring

Question

Hi,

I'm looking for a simple self hosted website monitoring tool. It should be somthing similar to watchmouse.com or pimgdom.com, with a nice UI, colorful charts and so on (Customers like that :)). At the moment we use Zabbix also for HTTP monitoring, but since now our hoster care about the hardware and software monitoring on the machine directly, we don't need Zabbix anymore. For pure http-monitoring zabbix or an other monitoring suite is really an overkill.

So what I'm not looking for is:

• Zabbix
• Nagios
• Hyperic
• ....

Sadly but the truth, after some hours of researching I wasn't able to find a fitting application. My hope is now on you.

Thanks in advance.

Why do you not want use watchmouse? If you are simply looking for a good free alternative, try the AlertFox free plan. It also includes transaction monitoring.

If it really has to be self hosted, I am not aware of any solution except simple scripts like http://www.catswhocode.com/blog/how-to-easily-monitor-your-web-server-using-php
