Is there any way to tell Monit to send XMPP notifications as well as emails on alerts?

A:
I don't know Monit, but if you can specify an arbitrary command, you could setup a python script that sends a message via DBus to either Pidgin or Finch. Pidgin/Finch should already be running and be connected.
Here is an example script:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import dbus, gobject, dbus.glib
import sys
bus = dbus.SessionBus()
obj = bus.get_object("im.pidgin.purple.PurpleService", "/im/pidgin/purple/PurpleObject")
purple = dbus.Interface(obj, "im.pidgin.purple.PurpleInterface")
account = purple.PurpleAccountsFindAny('[email protected]/Home', 'prpl-jabber')
conv = purple.PurpleConversationNew(1, account, '[email protected]')
im = purple.PurpleConvIm(conv)
purple.PurpleConvImSend(im, sys.argv[1])

Thank you. Yes, that's one possibility. I could use one of my Ruby scripts for this purpose.

Monit uses emails to send notifications. I don't know if a xmpp notification is provided, but you could use or code an email to xmpp gateway ?
I just found this : [http://invalidlogic.com/code/smtp-to-xmpp-gateway-in-ruby/%5D I don't know if it works, but it's an interesting solution to get email notifications (not only monit ones) onto your favorite xmpp client.
