Well, you could use nagios. It has the ability to do almost everything you list. For what it doesn't have, you can write plugins for it (which I have done) in php. If you are looking for a php framework that does all this, nagios isn't it. But if you are looking for an open-source system that does a whole lot of what you describe, that is what I use at my place of employment. I only have about 47 sensors on like 8 servers, but it definitely scales well. It sends notifications when certain thresholds are reached, etc. Email and SMS notifications. Again, not exactly a PHP solution, but you can definitely use php with it.
