It seems like there is a framework or open source effort for most everything
these days.

Is there anything for making sure websites are up and running?
Services (web and/or wcf) are up and running?
Stuff like that.

I know I can write my own custom pingers and similar.
I've tried googling (errr...bing'ing) and finding some kind of helper
framework, but to no avail.

................

Thanks for any hints/tips/pointers.

Check your favorite search engine results for "website monitoring
free".

One thing to remember is these sites/services only monitor their
ability to see a 'monitored' site. Any reported outages need to be
confirmed by checking server and app logs before being escalated.
These services can and often do cry wolf.

I don't know a specific framework, but be sure to pick one that
tests whether the app is running not just one that tests that
the OS is running (like ping).
