1. The amount of data would be quite large when it comes to the logs
2. System lock-in, I like to have the data and be able to query it as I see fit
3. If an event happens where the facility is cut off from the Internet you won't be able to tell what happened inside the facility (unless maybe there is a store and forward agent, but even then it is only useful after the event.
4. Latency monitoring (again maybe an agent can help) but if I see changes in response time I can't tell if that is the WAN or not.

- KyleBrandt 13y agoI like the idea of a totally independent 3rd party monitoring system. For that we use pingdom, and its job is basically to tell us if our public services are up from to the outside world. Basically it is an additional perspective and a redundant level of monitoring. But I view it mostly as an up/down layer of monitoring. Extremely important, but simple and not really meant to give insight into the complexity of our system.
