+
+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.
