Another option I've seen used at several different shops is xymon .

It was originally a clone of the now non-free "big brother" then changed to "hobbit monitor", before mutating into xymon Install xymon .

It is something like nagios, though in my opinion probably more simple, generally just showing up or down states. It is very extensible through scripting, however.

xymon monitor up and down systems

In addition to nagios, other well-known applications include OpenNMS and Zenoss.

Canonical sells licenses to its software called Landscape. Free trials are available.

Landscape is an easy-to-use systems management and monitoring service. Manage multiple Ubuntu machines as easily as one and lower your management and administration costs.

Try nagios, this is great for server management. This software is also free.
