Yup. 

To be able to check :
- daemons that are running ( to avoid the problem with sympa )
- check that website do not answer 500 or 404 
- check various metrics ( disk space is important, swap is too )
- check ports are open on the server

Ideally, to be able to run custom scripts, but I think they all do.


For alerting, I assume that a email sent to sysadmin should be enough,
as we do not have anything more sophisticated.

And of course, packaged, etc.
A plus if it supported having configuration file inclusions.
