You know what? I freaking HATE monitoring software, but it's only because
usually it's being shoved down my neck by someone who's not happy with their
lack of control of my servers. Like right now, I'm on a DoD contract, and we
were asked to evaluate NetIQ AppManager. Well, you know that when they say
"evaluate this, and let us know what you think about it," they really mean
"Hey, we want you to implement this total crap software, so play with it a
little, so you'll be used to it." 

  Not that NetIQ is bad, just that it's not all it's marketed as.  But, are
any of them?

I have been wanting, for some time now, to build an open source project of
this type, perhaps in Perl.  I just wish I had the time and skills
necessary...

Sorry, but I've not had any perfect experiences with any that I have exposure
to.

P.S. 
Sorry about the double send, I blame the webmail interface, and my lack of
sleep.
