Everyone thankyou for your responses. I am trying out the tools one by one.

It would be great to get recommended on some tool tried and tested. I need
monitoring and management. Essentially now, during my development cycle.
Later I may need more monitoring and lesser management.

My scenario is simple
- read my entire db, populate the cache with all records
- as records are written, i add into the cache
- as requests come i read the cache, if i get nothing, i read the db and
populate the cache (to enable subsequent good reads from cache requests)

So I need the following
- debug what I have populated from the entire db, clean up cache command
- debug writes
- debug reads
- statistics in general
- configure the cache, add more servers, reset servers

I need something that works, cacti thing is just not populating the
"Current Items" graph. I dont want to use something experimental, dont have
the time to try everything.

I am wondering if anyone of you have the tools installed, please advice me
on stability, reliability of the tool.

I installed cacti and top. Cacti is not reliable. Top is kinda good. Simple
and gives kinda dashboard feel.
Cacti does not have any forum support too. Questions dont get answered, I
guess its not as famous, or may be it still under development.

Please advice on trial and tested.
