I'll throw in another vote for xymon. We're in the process of converting from Big Brother to xymon at work. BB works great right out of the box and there are a lot of extensions possible. I've used add-on scripts for Big Brother that check virtual memory stats, zfs state, IMAP, and proprietary in-house software throughput - if you can script it, BB can monitor it. At my last job I was a one-person show and BB was a lifesaver. Xymon is open source/GPL and has a lot of good metrics tools built right in (rolled up from BB add-ons LARRD and BBGEN). Also, the BB alerting side is a bit hard to customize in a larger group, compared to Xymon)
