I've used Nagios (formerly NetSaint) in the past and have been very
impressed with it.

It of course has a bit of a learing curve but it's not bad at all. Watch
your typos in config files though. I noticed that the parser didn't
detect them well and oddball problems cropped up when made simple mistakes
(like putting a period in the wrong place or fat-fingering a declaration).
Other than that I think it could do all of what you're wanting. I rolled
it out to the admins around the campus on my last job and I received
excellent feedback from them.
