This isn't a CF kind of way to do what you are asking, but it might be what you are looking for. We have used Nagios to monitor, log and troubleshoot servers in both of our datacenters and it can be very useful if you just can't sit in front of a machine 24/7. http://www.nagios.org/ http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/monitoring-windows.html
