I'm monitoring a web application. More specifically I'm using the check_http command to set a cookie that mimics a sticky session, retrieve a web page from each of two instances behind a load balancer, and run a regex against the resulting page. I'm currently limiting myself to this because it matches the monitoring our previous hosting provider did for us and because it doesn't require opening anything up that wasn't previously exposed in the older environment. The page is an application specific health page that already existed. I'll probably add the ApacheMonitor ZenPack in the near future just for kicks and I briefly played with the MySQLMonitor through an SSH tunnel I set up on the Zenoss box since the MySQL port isn't open outside of my public facing EC2 security group. This may be a bit of an ugly hack. I've since disabled the tunnel and MySQL monitoring since it was my own proof of concept curiosity satisfier. Sure. I'm monitoring a web application.

An application, a web service, the output of a shell command? Always looking for interesting uses of Zenoss, not a lot of mentions of Zenoss with EC2. Thanks, Matt Ray Zenoss Community Manager If you don't mind me asking, what are you monitoring on EC2 with Zenoss? An application, a web service, the output of a shell command?
