Server monitoring...again but with a twist.

I know that server monitoring is a often discussed & rediscussed topic here at WHT, so I was interested at seeing what you guys used for monitoring?

I have been thinking that I want to setup a system that logs the uptime for various servers but I am trying to think of a way to do this. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

I would be wanting to store this in a database or text file of some sort so that I could record the uptimes for various domains.

What's the easiest way to do this? Is there some kind of built in function to maybe ping or connect to a box in PHP or ASP? Perl?

Opinions welcome.
