What do you use for private service monitoring in your organization, and how did you configure it initially?

Xymon and custom script tests. It's old and ugly, but it's very reliable, flexible, and easy to use. I've tried a number of different solutions, such as Nagios and others, but kept coming back to Xymon.

~30 years ago, with lots of upkeep and cleanups.

Seems like you’re looking for a glorified ping/prober? There’s blackbox_exporter for Prometheus that works great.

What do you mean by a "private" service?

And what kind of monitoring?

services that are on an internal network and not accessible publicly, hence would require giving the tool access to the network to have continuous availability checks
