Thanks to all who replied. I received 26 replies, so I am opting to not
list your names - but thank you all!
Overwhemlingly, Nagios is recommended for monitoring and notification.
For trend analysis about 60% of you recommend Cacti. Very few suggested
commercial solutions, which to me suggests that there really isn't much
good software out there for sale.
We're already using Nagios in-house, so we'll look at keeping it around.
However, the suggestion of Cacti was great, so we'll certainly look at
that as well.
The software packages that you mentioned were;
Nagios, http://www.nagios.org
Cacti, http://www.cacti.net
Big Brother, http://www.bb4.org, http://www.bb4.com
Big Sister, http://bigsister.sourceforge.net
Zabbix, http://www.zabbix.com
Cricket, http://cricket.sourceforge.net
ORCA, http://www.orcaware.com/orca
ProIT Monitoring, http://www.performanceit.com (sparc only)
Munin, http://munin.projects.linpro.no
GroundWork Monitor, http://www.groundworkopensource.com
Lund MetaView, http://www.lund.com
OpenNMS, http://www.opennms.org
Again, thank you all and if I neglected to mention a software package or
seemingly omitted your advice, I apologize.
