If what you want to monitor can be monitored by a URLfetch (a HTTP URL you want to verify), then GAE will probably work quite well.
You can have a process spawed by the scheduler (aka Cron), which trys to connect to a perdertmined set of URLs. If any fail or dont return the expected result, send of an email. If you want SMS or similar, just find a email to SMS gateway.
