Not strictly related to this problem, but if you are looking for a kickass application monitoring, that tracks your application's performance from user's browser to the function call on your server, take a look at http://newrelic.com/

disclosure: I'm just a really really happy customer

We also use New Relic and are extremely pleased with it. However if we agree that all 5 of the OP's points are legitimate identifiers of a well-rounded monitoring system, New Relic only meets 3 of the 5: deep integration, high resolution, and dynamic configuration.

New Relic is indeed an excellent monitoring tool but it's not perfect. Alerts do lag behind anywhere from two to 5 minutes, and there are no context-sensitive alerts... at least not that I'm aware of.
