Another vote here for Munin. I've used it quite extensively and its easy
plugin interface makes it quite nice to extend for things particular to your
infrastructure.

While I haven't looked around in the landscape in the recent past, I don't
know of a one-size-fits-all tool. Some of proprietary ones are quite heavy
and difficult to use.

Splunk is nice indeed. Having all your logs and events searchable is
fantastic. Plus you can define all sorts of filters to go through your data.
The price tag is indeed hefty, but it makes sense depending on your
organization.
