You want to add another host to install a management service to monitor what *may be* (we still don't know) one database that may not be that important from a business perspective? Maybe all that matters to them is that they check once an hour (or even less) to see if is up.

My point is you didn't have enough knowledge of his/her situation to suggest they "stop building their own OEM". It's not *always* about posters not reading the manuals, and it's definitely not a one size fits all world. Not every shop in the world works like yours or mine.
