I know this has been bandied about by every n00b about once every couple of months, but hear me out.

I'm no n00b and I'm in the awkward position to try to find a potential replacement for our Proprietary monitoring solution (SMARTS if anyone is familiar with it.) We run SMARTS along with Nagios and several home grown scripts, but my boss has this itch to find something that might potentially replace SMARTS, but give him a nice GUI to work with.

I've used Nagios and I like it. Also BB4. But what else is out there that is new or relatively new, that does network monitoring and alerting?

We need something like Nagios, SNMP, port monitoring, interface monitoring on our core routers, etc. WE also need something really granular for alerting via text or email so we don't get deluged with messages at night for things that aren't critical.

Has anyone used (or is using) something not that many not be well known but works well that they can recommend for me to take a look at?

I've googled until I'm sick of it, and nothing I've picked out really strikes me as adequate for our needs. So now I'm turning to the Fedora community for ideas.
