What do you use for monitoring in general?  Internally, we've stuck with
Big Brother because it's free and easily extensible.  Also becaue I'd been
in large shops before with HPOV installations that were a PITA...

It's the first Expect script I ever wrote, and as a result it's pretty
rough, but the link below gives an example of monitoring PIX failover
status using an Expect script that plugs into BB (email, pages, etc. can
then be sent based upon what the script returns):
