I've got munin installed too, useful for trend data (or identifying
exactly when things started going south :), and I agree, painless to
install. Does it do email notifications if things get out of bounds? To
be honest it has 'just worked' for me and I've never had cause to look
at it very hard (which is a high-order compliment :)<br>

Another useful tool is smokeping, one of those tools that only does one
thing, but does it well. Mine's visible at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://home.bod.org/smokeping/">http://home.bod.org/smokeping/</a> if anyone's curious.<br>
