Sorry to chime in so late on this but I use and recommend Zabbix, it is very configurable and it is free, but they do offer paid support at a reasonable price.
As for Splunk, it is a great logging tool, but it doesn't make a good performance tool. Zabbix can do logs as well, but it is not a very good at it.
