When rackspace launched cloud monitoring I was really interested, especially since leaving AWS… I kind of felt a bit blind to what my servers were doing.
By default, the monitoring service sends you emails for up/down alarms… just what we need more emails! … So I have started to write an alarm console which is a compatible webhook for their API…. i.e. you can send alarms to it!
My Webhook is called [rx]Alarm… rx as in receive 
The source code is on github (rxalam repo) and a working copy is on openshift (rxalam site).
This may end up being yet-another-project-I-don’t-finish … or it maybe not, only time will tell!
