And similar to Big Brother (http://bb4.com/).

And similar to PCP (http://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp/).

And similar to a hack I used to use (a cronjob that fished useful
entries out of sar/vmstat, df, and uptime every 15 minutes and then
used syslog to transport them to a master loghost).

And similar to several other open and closed source monitoring tools.


Much like window managers, everybody has a favorite....  :-)
