Nagios, Zabbix, OpenNMS?

[Russell Adams]

Oddly enough I'm a big advocate of using SNMP with Nagios. It
leverages existing tools, and then plugins can suppliment the
functionality. Also, managing NRPE etc in a large environment means
additional software overhead. It is only suitable for LAN environments
though.

Just my $0.02.
