for graphical service level monitoring i prefer spong (son of pong).  it's
great, is easy to install and has a couple neat features.

for this i would suggest checking out nocol or maybe mon, both of which (i
think mon does as well) have support of alpha pagers.

http://consult.ml.org/~trockij/mon/

i don't have a url handy for nocal but i belive it's on sunsite.  in any
event a web search should turn it up easily.
