Monitoring "internet"

You can use the bbcombotest to merge the result of all your http content/status check in a single check. 
in bbcombotest.cfg you can put something like:

internet.connect = internet.cont1 && internet.cont2 && internet.cont3

remember to change the hobbitlaunch.cfg to include the launch of bbcombotest

Can these be combined as well? Ie do multiple http checks and go red
only if all fail?

TIA...

    Hello,

    We have a request to monitor 'internet' connectivity.  (When it comes
    from higherups...)

    Just pinging up the line might not be good enough as we've had issues
    with our providers in the recent past.  So I figured ping several well
    known hosts out in the cloud and if all are out, then we have no
    'internet'.

    I came out with the following.  Seems to work, but figure I run it
    thru
    the list in case someone else has done this already...

    page internet Internet Connectivity
    127.0.0.1  INTERNET # conn=ip1,ip2,ip3,ip4,ip5


    TIA...
