Monitoring the process table with ps doesn't tell you if your application is available. It just tells you if the OS thinks your application (Tomcat) is running.
To remotely monitor/test a web application, your monitor application must make a full HTTP/HTTPS request and check the content returned as the response for an indicator that all is well. Anything else is false security.
