I can't offer any advice (I'm looking for an alternative to Zabbix that isn't nagios). I'm thinking along the lines of collectd or graphite to get the stats and developing something very basic inhouse (to draw graphs and send alerts). Zabbix is very easy to setup initially - including agents - but practically everything gets done through the web interface. The boredom is excruciating (click, click, hunt) - it might be some peoples cup of tea but for me its mind blowingly tedious.
