Let's start with I know I have not really done my homework like I should on this question, but here is it anyway...
I have an application (MS Windows) that runs all the time and other processes rely on the data that it provides, but it fails on occasion. I know there is software I can get to monitor this process/application and email me if there is an issue. Is there some software that I can point at a process and if it fails trip the HA (drops heartbeat)? I know I could maybe write my own (over my head and lack of time) using the SDK, but the software isn't mine to modify, etc. I haven't really gotten to the level of HA yet and probably won't for a while, unless this could solve my issue, then I'm all over figuring it out. Maybe even a nudge in the correct direction would be greatly appreciated.
