I'll go ahead and plug the Opsview front end to nagios. More than a front end really. I've been using nagios since the netsaint days and didn't want to give up years of hands on experience, but we needed a bit slicker configuration methods. It also *almost* replaces cacti, but not quite. However, we only keep our more specialized stuff in cacti, stuff that we developed complex templates for. Opsview will handily graph/alert on switch/router/radio interfaces with a few clicks, and with almost no effort will graph/alert on any oid (or really, anything) you want.
