Hi, We're using PRTG from Paessler (http://www.paessler.com). We're monitoring > 50k sensors (storage, network, hardware, applications, a/c, generators, door locks, liquid detection system in datacentres, etc) ... Best decision ever!

For switch closures like on water-sensors, you will need an I/O board, but they are readily available and pretty easy to script. For temperature/voltage alarms, those same scripts can send alarm e-mail when particular values fall outside of the range. Ditto switch sensing. Also, there are SNMP-based solutions you may not have thought of. Have Cisco routers? The environmental sensors are available via SNMP.
