Each organization is got its own critical services to monitor, but they're
more likely to show status in a live site only for those that are open for
people to use, like website, email, jabber, etc. SSH and DHCP, for example,
are among the ones with very low priority because these aren't usually made
available for the public so that it is important for them to check on their
statuses.
The API is a webservice. It doesn't matter what language or plataform
they're going to use, as long as they have access to the internet and are
able to reach the site to report on status. So the answer is that when
someone is writing a monitoring agent, we don't care what language they're
using.
On the monitoring agents we are going to develop, we'll definitely use
Python and be cross-platform (support at least windows, linux and mac)
