I'm mainly using cucumber-nagios, which is awesome.

I recently added some AMQP monitoring to it and have some
experiemental MySQL stuff as well. Others have added DNS and HTTP
headers and the like to go with lots of other useful steps handy for
high level is it working testing.

I'm also using cucumber with celerity (Jruby based headless browser).
Once you get it up and running it's pretty darn nifty. Along side all
that I'm using Ganglia for stats which again uses Nagios for alerting.
