I've used Nagios in the past & liked it.  In fact, when I reviewed a
handful of monitoring solutions
(http://www.linuxpromagazine.com/Issues/2008/92/FREE-MONITOR) I liked
Nagios enough that I moved across to it from Hobbit, which I was using
before!

I wrote a tutorial about Nagios for Linux Format magazine, but it looks
like it's only available to subscribers.  Let me know if you're
interested & I can send you a copy privately of my text.  Alternatively,
(blatant plug ahoy!) there's some Nagios recipes in my Linux Systems
Administration book :)
