install SNMP on your machines, and then you can use any number of tools: mrtg - OSS, also runs on Windows cacti - OSS, runs on *nix nagios - OSS, runs on *nix OpenNMS - OSS, runs on *nix servers alive - commercial, but cheap HP OpenView - commercial and expensive
that's just a few of many. mrtg and cacti aren't really much for notification, though they can be set up to do that. The rest are all about notification. If you can't install the SNMP service on your PCs and servers, you'll probably need software that requires an agent. That's going to be much heavier than just installing SNMP.
