I have a relatively small shop, about 30 servers in three locations, and I
need help finding a service monitor that can notify me when something is
amis, or about to go badly. Specifically I am looking for a product that can
send alerts when a service fails a check and keep metrics for all the
servers that it monitors.

I've tried several products, and none really do what I want. (I prefer
OpenSource, but it's not a requirement. Running on *BSD/Linux *is*.)
Nagios is good for alerting, but it's doesn't keep metrics.
Cacti is good at keeping metrics, but it won't alert me if something is
wrong.
ZenOss does both, but I have found it difficult to manage and buggy, and the
commercial version is expensive.

Can you recommend or mention some other products that you have used or heard
about?
