Open source.  Sorry, i forgot to mention it.

Does the OS version is crippled up to prevent relationships !?!  IMHO, 
relationships are simply mandatory!  But they can do whatever they want 
and we simply do the same!

Did you use the 'enterprise' or the OS version?

Thanks, ZenOSS just might fit the bill.

and i had really a hard time with relationships (a version of sept 2007).


Zenoss seems to get its relationships when it scans the network and 
components by itself.  I was unable to edit and set relationships 
manually.  I was flooded by emails!


I finally gave up en went for Nagios in which i have full control.

I heard that the Zenoss team was supposed to work on that eventually.

Can anyone recommend an enterprise-class monitoring system for both
Linux and Windows servers?  Here are my requirements:

SNMP trap collection, ability to import custom MIBs
isup/isdown monitoring of ports and daemons
Server health monitors (CPU, Disk, Memory, etc)
SLA reporting with nice graphs
Pager/Email/SMS alerts with groups, filters and escalations
Built-in MTBF and MTTR reporting
Robust parent-child relationships between monitors or probes.  For
example, the system must be smart enough to know that if 25 URLs have
gone down all at once, that they belong to an apache process that has
died.  I don't want 25 alerts, I want *one* alert telling me that the
parent apache daemon is down.
Ability to easily create dashboards from various monitors.  We want
this so we can see all components of a website in one place, eg,
apache URL, database server, disk storage, etc.
Attractive, easy to use GUI.  We don't want a homebrew project with
ugly graphs and a web 1.0 GUI.

So far the products I have looked at are:
NimBUS
SolarWinds IP Monitor
WhatsUPGold
GroundWork Open Source
Nagios

And none of them have met all my requirements.  Any suggestions?


http://www.opennms.org - and they have a yum repo for easy installation 
on Centos.   Expect to do some work setting up relationships, but the 
framework is all there.

You might take a look at OpenNMS and ZenOSS.  I'm not sure if either
could do everything you're asking for out of the box however.
