Hi Gabe,
I've used NetSaint (the forerunner to Nagios) in some pretty big
installations (200+ machines, 2000+ service checks) with good success.
Without too much work, you can also tie it in with rrdtool to
automatically collect and present trending data. I'm working on
converting to our site to nagios now.
Anyway, there are nagios packages for Debian. The current package is
part of the testing/unstable distribution, but builds fine on stable
(after you build a few of the build dependency packages). If you'd like,
I can make a nagios.deb built against stable available for you.
Cheers,
tony
