Rails Monitoring, reprise

Last week I posted a question about monitoring Rails
applications.  
Basically, the java folks at my business cited one of their
reasons  
for sticking with Java is it's monitoring tools.  After
picking some  
ears, I found out that the one we're looking at most is
JBoss  
Operations Network.  And I have to say, it's pretty neat.

http://www.
jboss.com/resources/jbon_demos has some flash demos  
(registration required, see bugmenot.com for access)

The monitoring and administration demo is particularly
interesting.   
It goes beyond the normal ping monitoring and even can call
up  
metrics like VM memory usage, requests per second, number of
open  
resources...  The whole suite appears to have a lot of
Trac-like  
functionality as well.

It looks like FiveRuns (http://fiveruns.com/) is
right there with  
JBoss ON but it's not yet available.  Does anyone know
other similar  
packages for Rails system administration?

Thanks,
Mat

Very cool.  I'll have to keep a closer watch on your
project then.   
It'll be exciting to tell those guys they can have their
cake and eat  
it too.  A number of the developers here know of Rails but
can't yet  
make the point against their Java way of doing things.
