Your definition of spam seems...odd...

Actually, not. I was surprised that it's even easier to configure and
get meaningful, useful information from than BigBrother, which was my
previous benchmark of "Hey, this is up and running almost immediately"
in regards to this sort of a tool.
In our case, we're using BigBrother for external monitoring (ping, http,
website page load times, that sort of thing), and Nagios for internal
monitoring (disk volume fullness, switchgear health, all the things inside
the firewall). This is probably more due to who set up which side and
the tool they started with, but they seem to be well-suited for their
purposes. (We also use 'cacti' to do graphic trending analysis; it's a
trending tool, not a monitoring tool). All 3 of these work in concert,
and of course can more than adequately replace commercial products.
...especially commercial products whose promotors spam discussion groups...
