We've been down the same path.  The best advice I can give you is to go
with ZenOSS and throw hardware at it.

It's non-optimal, I know, but it beats the alternative (buy commercial
and throw $$$ at it).

Hopefully someone on the list can help with some legwork here.  I am 
currently looking for a Low or No cost monitoring solution meeting the 
following criteria:

Centralized, Web based reporting
Alerting via Email
Centralized Logging
Service Monitoring
Server Monitoring (ping etc)
MySQL (or other RDB backend)
Linux or Solaris Based
Bonus Item: Tripwire like checksumming

I am not picky on agent vs. agentless at this point.

I have tried Zabbix (notifier broke), Zenoss (close, but real heavy on 
resources), OSSIM (the install, ouch).


Anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks!

Chris K.
