One might call that serendipity.

Henrik have you had your meeting with the phbs about this yet?
I have, but nothing has been decided yet.
However, I am now certain that some deity has been busy working in my favour. 5 minutes before the meeting ended, cell phones started beeping around the meeting room - and this turned out to be the beginning of the biggest disruption of service our datacenter has ever had. Several events conspired against us, but the result was a near 100% loss of all network connectivity on our core backbone network, and to our Internet connectivity.
So I had lots of time to demonstrate - also to the PHB's - that monitoring with a simple webpage works, even when you access it over a 56 kbit dialup connection through a cell phone. I had quite an audience throughout the afternoon, evening and night.
So I think the odds are in my favour right now.
Regards, Henrik
