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. - Adam Compton [1]: http://community.zenoss.org/index.jspa [2]: http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/155743
