How big is your cluster and what do you want to monitor?

Have you already looked at Nagios? (http://www.nagios.org)

I'm currently setting up another Nagios server for a customer who will
monitor all of his systems, be it switches, router, an ordinary server
or bunch of cluster-nodes. 

You'll have to write a few configuration files for all the services and
each client you want to monitor, but if all nodes in the cluster are
similar, it wont be too much work...
