Taking a poll, Remote or Not Remote.

[Brandon Knitter]

External service monitoring is a different problem to solve than 
internal system
monitoring.

Internal system monitoring (which cannot/shouldn't be done remotely) will give
you things like CPU, Load, Disk Space, application stats, etc.

Remote/external monitorinng will give you an idea of uptime, end-user 
experience
and overall availability of service.

They are two completely different beasts.  Install two systems, or install the
internal one only and check out the very reasonably priced services of 
RedAlert
or SiteSeer.  You can obviously find much more expensive solutions from 
Keynote
and Mercury Interactive.

Cheers,
