#142 closed enhancement (fixed)

Add monitoring for failure of the backend network

Description

We don't presently have a Nagios test that will alert us if there's a failure of the backend network switch, or the backend interface on an individual server. All the probes for sql.mit.edu will still pass because they run over the public network.

We should use some plugin to run a 'select 1;' or something similarly trivial on each scripts server.

This isn't good enough; if the routes over the backend interface disappear, we will happily talk to sql over the frontend network and not notice the outage.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like check_ping supports specifying an interface to check from. I guess we could pretend and ping the backend IP of sql instead.
