I don't know if there is a way to do it within tomcat.

But you can have a small java program which tries to access your application's URL and then returns a status (it will be better if it can mail the support team). And this java program can be called through a scheduled 'cron' job (assuming you are running your tomcat on unix).

if you can do with an application wide (notifying when your application is
up) - use a ContextListener.

Hi,

Does anyone know of any monitoring software for detecting when a tomcat
instance becomes unavailable and notifying support persons via email/page?
Something open source, preferably.

TIA.
