If it's about monitoring, let me just mention nagios, to be found at
http://www.nagios.org/

It's a very very nice monitoring app which I use for monitoring states 
of several servers. It can use "external" (command line) apps for 
monitoring. Maybe it would be of some use to develop an the app so that 
the clients for getting the status for zope servers could also be used 
as "plugins" for nagios. Encapsulating the classes used for getting the 
data from a zope server into a module would suffice, then one could 
write simple monitoring apps as described here:
