I need to get suggestions from you guys.

I have been asked to set up monitoring for SQL Server Databases.
My manager wants me to pick the top 10 things that I think need to be monitored. Then take those things and put them in an html file and web enable these files to be viewed from our intranet.

My question is this,

What top ten things do you guys as DBA's think is important to monitor. And
if any of you have had this type of assignment how did it work for you?

Thanks in advance for you help.
