use monit in vm's .

we use 'mon' on the server to check that vm and services are running.

aptitude show mon

we have mon ping  the i/p address  and more.   I can send you our  /etc/mon/
con.cf file

but here are parts:
hostgroup pingableservers
edi
fbc2
fbc6
fbc7
mail
fbc33
#fbc40
freezer1-mon
proxmox4
proxmox1
phone17
samba

hostgroup httpservers
www

hostgroup smtpservers
smtp

hostgroup managed-switches
10.100.100.25
10.100.100.44
10.100.100.47
10.100.100.77


#Next we need to proceed to configure monitors and alerts for use with the
host groups defined above:

watch managed-switches
 service ping
  interval 10m
  monitor fping.monitor -T
  period
  alert mail.alert fbcadmin at fnfosaoid.com
  upalert mail.alert -S "managed-switch  is back up" fbcadmin at jofisjdoif.com

# do proxmox backups during non watch times or else
# you'll get alerts
watch pingableservers
 service ping
  interval 10m
  monitor fping.monitor -T
  period wd {Sun-Sat} hr {5am-10pm}
  alert mail.alert fbcadmin at osjdf.com
  upalert mail.alert fbcadmin at fjoisjf.com

# 2010-12-22 was 10m , changed to less frequently as monit on mail also does
this
watch smtpservers
 service smtp
  interval 60m
  monitor smtp.monitor -t 60
  period wd {Sun-Sat} hr {5am-10pm}
  numalerts 5
  alert mail.alert fbcadmin at fantinibakery.com
  upalert mail.alert fbcadmin at fantinibakery.com


i can post our full config  if you want.  or maybe a mon and  monit wiki
page somewhere?  we have an internal mediawiki page for both mon and monit
..  i could copy and paste that somethere..
