    thanks. nagios looks great (i already have it installed actually.) does this allow me to build a custom widget for displaying the data in other interfaces though (web browser widget, for example.)

  We use munin, monit and god for our monitoring. All great pieces of open source.

  We use Nagios for sending/escalating alerts, and Ganglia for graphing quantifiable systems trends. It's indispensable for explaining odd performance phenomena. Ganglia Demo: http://monitor.millennium.berkeley.edu/ http://monitor.millennium.berkeley.edu/ We also wrote some daemons/libs to make it easy to add our own metrics into the Ganglia graphs, so we can see connected users, requests per second, revenue, etc. along side CPU, memory usage, disk space, bandwidth. https://spideroak.com/code https://spideroak.com/code

    Nagios + Ganglia is what was used in my previous work place. Was a pretty darn neat setup considering the had hundreds (if not thousands) of server

  munin, monit are free and easy to setup, low footprint. god is free but eats memory.
