SNMP is better than nothing. I have seen some examples of people using Splunk; not only to keep an eye on up/down but also for keeping an eye on errors and proactively looking for performance problems (api response time/trends, sql response time/trends, etc.).
Without knowing what the initial goal was I was picturing what I had seen in the past. With Mark's last update it looks like I have the opposite situation... We use Splunk quite a bit in our IT org and I submitted a request back in November to start using it to monitor Remedy (similar to what was shown to me). Still waiting... I considered setting up a Splunk instance for my team but the size limits on the free edition are too small to realistically track a Remedy system how I would like. I am always interested in other monitoring options and how other people are doing it.
