Provide monitoring of applications "From the Cloud"

Do you know of any services that provide monitoring of applications "from the cloud"? What's the advantage of this approach?

In many ways, the bottom line of monitoring is to know, reliably and consistently, that a web application is running normally.

There is always that lingering doubt about whether the monitoring machine running OK. It is a matter of relative reliabilities: you certainly want the monitoring machine to be MORE reliable than the machine(s) or
application(s) it is monitoring.

That appears to be where originating monitoring a cloud-based machine image has some technical and business advantages. You know (or at least you expect) a cloud-based machine to be the most reliable system around.

And, apart from some recent well-noted incidents, that statement generally holds true. So basing your monitoring from a cloud image does give you an extra layer of reliability and proection.
