24*7 Monitoring and Remote Support (NOT customer support)
We are looking for a company which can monitor about 20 servers 24*7 and if one goes down follow a well documented (its only a page) process. All can be done using Web and you only need to monitor HTTP (http://ip:8080/ok.php). The key is a company that has a monitoring operation 24*7 and can back it by some kind of SLA.

Hi, Jay
If you're still looking for help with this, please, feel free to contact me via any of the methods in my signature. I've developed a few scripts that provide not only site monitoring, but service (such as ftp, email, etc) monitoring and store statistical data for you to demonstrate to your users, and would be more than happy to work something out with youTom Whiting, WHMCS Guru extraordinaire

No, it doesn't work. For instance, if mySQL doesn't work, there is only one way to be aware about: this to visit a mySQL website hosted on the monitored server and see that the pages are full of mySQL Warnings.
However, most monitoring companies don't do that. They use a script that ping mySQL port. If the ping is ok, mySQL is considered as working. Be sure that mySQL can be faulty and all your mySQL based websites display warnings and monitoring script continue to consider it as ok.
The only way I know to activate an alert is to login as root into your box and type:
service mysqld stop
For all other situations, the monitoring is positive for mySQL.Enterprise Consultant
