So i am googling around looking for a free server monitoring solution to play with and come across this nifty (yet ugly) site:Â http://www.servermojo.com
Looks aside, it's got some pretty cool functionality such as: free!, can add unlimited sites, has a few monitoring methods (i chose http+keyword), has basic charts, will do email alerts, and even twitter alerts (which translates to free sms alerts via twitter!)
So you could potentially setup a few different pages like ping_apache.htm and ping_coldfusion.cfm both with just a single keyword in the file and then you could easily see if you had an alert on the ping_coldfusion and not the ping_apache that it was a jrun problem and not a server level.
Worth checking out at least, i'll post if i see any negative performance with it
