It entirely depends on what platforms/software you plan on monitoring.

As Brian suggested, SNMP can certainly be used.  Custom scripts might
be required for other stuff.  There is a check_yum, and check_deb
plugins (see Nagios Exchange [1]), for example.  A custom WMI script
could be written for windows [2].  There are certainly some solutions
already floating about, you might just have to play with them a bit.
