I'm a big fan of Zenoss [1]; it handles monitoring and alerting,
performance counters/graphing, SNMP traps, event log collection, and
several other things, and supports both Unix and Windows servers. It also
does auto-discovery; tell it what subnets to watch and it will periodically
find and start monitoring new machines and equipment as they appear.

They have a VMware appliance [2] to help you get up and running quickly and
easily.
