This is the job of a monitoring system. The monitoring system checks the state 
of the cluster form time to time and sends out notifications if anything is 
not as expected.

You cannoy rely only on a cluster-centric solution. If all nodes are down, 
your users will notice. If you have a good monitoring system, it will 
recognize first and alert you. So you need external monitoring.

I prefer SNMP since it is the only IETF standard in management protocols.
