Network/System Monitors

The last couple posts have reflected my experience as well.  I use Nagios for 
monitoring and alerting.  I use Munin for graphing and visual representation 
of things.

I'm currently upgrading from Nagios 2 to Nagios 3 and I admit I was kinda 
hoping that I'd see more features in Nagios that would let me combine this 
functionality, but it seems Nagios 3 has focused far more on scalability and 
performance in larger installations.  Perhaps that will help it resolve some 
of the issues some of you have had with it in the past at least.

For the meantime, I'll stick to Nagios and Munin though.  Oh, and MRTG for 
switches and routers. For some reason, while I'm sure I could use Munin for 
these, I've stuck with MRTG for many years of switch/router throughput 
monitoring.
