Monitoring tools that do NOT require root privileges

Hi guys,

I am currently managing an application running on around 150 servers.

I only have application usage rights on those servers and do not have any root privileges.

I have an external node that can connect to those servers and I have root privileges on that one box.

I want to setup System and Application level monitoring.

Is there any open source tool that can help me in install monitoring that doesn't require me to install something on the Application nodes ?

NAME

       apphbd - Application Heartbeat Monitor for High-Availability Linux

SYNOPSIS

       apphbd [-srkdh] [-c file]

DESCRIPTION

	   Warning
	   apphbd is deprecated; its use is strongly discouraged. The functionality provided by apphbd has been replaced by resource-level
	   monitoring in Pacemaker.

       /usr/lib/heartbeat/apphbd is a basic application heartbeat monitor daemon for Linux-HA. A group of Application Heartbeat APIs are defined
       for this heartbeat monitoring service. Applications may register with the daemon in order to be monitored. If an application fails to send
       a heartbeat within the specified interval, the daemon will log an event.

       apphbd may use a watchdog timer to monitor itself.

       apphbd extends its functionality by using plugins. A plugin, recmgr notifies the recovery manager daemon if certain events occur (e.g. an
       application fails to heartbeat).

       The Recovery Manager daemon (/usr/lib/heartbeat/recoverymgrd) receives notification from the recmgr plugin, then it tries to execute
       recovery scripts as configured. See the recoverymgrd default configuration file, recoverymgrd.conf for details.

       recoverymgrd registers itself with apphbd as a client application.  apphbd should be started first with the recmgr plugin loaded. Then,
       recoverymgrd should be configured and started

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -s
	   Show the status of apphbd, running or stopped.

       -k
	   Stop (kill) the daemon.

       -r
	   Restart the daemon.	apphbd will reload its configuration file when restarted.

       -d level
	   Set the debug level.

       -h
	   Show a brief usage message.

       -c file
	   Set an alternate configuration file. The default configuration file is ./apphbd.cf. For details on the file format and supported
	   options, refer to the example apphbd.cf file found in the documentation directory.

FILES

       o   /var/run/apphbd.pid - default PID file

       o   apphbd.cf - Default configuration file for apphbd.  apphbd searches the file in its working directory.

       o   recoverymgrd.conf - default configuration file for recoverymgrd. recoverymgrd searches the file in its working directory. An
	   alternative configuration file may be specified on the command line.

       o   /usr/lib/heartbeat/plugins/AppHBNotification - directory containing plugins for apphbd.
