[cas-dev] application monitoring

[Andrew Feller]

Isn't Hyperic a generic machine monitoring tool?  I believe we use that on
our servers to keep track of whether they are up.  I am interested in how
this can be applied to an application.  The only downside is whether you
need to setup the Hyperic server or not and what costs are associated.
