In regards to the subject line: "cheap"
Not everyone has a good budget to get the programs that have all of the
features and eye candy, so they look for alternatives. I work at a very
small hospital and doubt I could ever get Solarwinds ($1975 for the
Orion SL100 and up to $12,000+ for the SLX) passed through the budget
process as a must have item. If one doesn't have the money, the
open-source community is a great place to look for things like Nagios,
Ossim, Snort, etc, etc.
Or maybe it is easier said as "Solarwinds sucks my wallet pretty hard
compared to Nagios"

I've just started using Nagios this week at work and it is pretty slick.

HostMonitor is nice enough. We never really found it to be 100%

as sometimes it was give an alert on a server that wasn't down.
Eventually
I came across Netsaint and then Nagios(what netsaint became) ... Nagios
is
pretty much perfect. And it's free to boot. Try www.nagios.org.
