Take a look at Longitude, from Heroix. We're also looking at SolarWinds and other monitoring software, and while we haven't done an in-house eval yet, it's looking good in the demos. It does cover *nix, and I'm pretty sure it would connect to the ticketing system at the least by emailing a ticket request.

Specifically: NetIQ AppManager IBM Tivoli Monitoring (ITM) HP Operations Manager SCOM 2007 A lot of the functionality you need will affect what you get. For example, we need something that will connect to our ticketing system (IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console). We need the ability to monitor UNIX and Linux, etc.... Personally I like HP Operations Manager and SCOM 2007. I've already stood up a small instance of SCOM for KMS reporting. But HP Operations Manager is pretty impressive in this category. Seems to really do Linux, UNIX well and the connectors are decent.
