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

http://www.nagios.org/

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.
