    Jonathan&gt; Nagios seems pretty popular (<a  rel="nofollow" href="http://www.nagios.org/";>http://www.nagios.org/</a>).

Seconded.  I've used it at @jobs[-2,-1] and it's been pretty useful.
My biggest complaints were/are:

* The web front end is all compiled C CGIs with no easy way to modify
  the output HTML; I kept threatening myself with rewriting it in
  HTML::Mason while at $jobs[-2] but never did.

* The config file format's very hairy; if anyone's interested mail me
  and I've got some perl Template Toolkit headers which make it a bit
  more amenable to large numbers of hosts (~200 hosts at $jobs[-2],
  looking at around ~400 at $jobs[-1] real soon now)


Other than that, it's pretty easy to extend with your own check
scripts and was pretty robust (I want to say it got confused and
didn't notice something coming back up, but I can't offhand remember
it missing something going down).
