Since everyone is posting their favorite free-tier monitoring products - does anyone have a recommendation for a cloud product that will allow us to create a group of ping monitors and alert only if all monitors in the group are down for N minutes?

I’ll double check when they’re online, but I’m pretty sure BitPing can do stuff like this. They farm the actual checks out to actual users devices across a whole stack of geographies, you can customise regions, rates, etc.

Full disclosure: my friends business

You could hack that together with huginn pretty easily

Hacker mentality never left this site since inception :)

I am curious for the use case of it. What group of servers do you want to monitor?
We have dual internet connections coming into a satellite office and we only want to be alerted if both are down.
With icinga2 (or any nagios successor) you could write a custom check command that does a ping check on both IPs (and return an error status only if both are down).
