I use NetSaint which is a very good tool but is not auto-configurable. It relies on
you telling which hosts to monitor and for what services. Sincerily, after trying a
few tools performing "auto-discovering" of the network I prefer to type all data into
NetSaint. It is very flexible, configurable and reliable, besides meeting your
requirements except for the first.
NetSaint does not support your second requirement out-of-the-box (new machine alert)
but I can imagine many easy ways to configure it to do this. If you are willing to
start a new project, I beg you to join the NetSaint developers and provide your extra
features as a plug-in.
