Have a look at http://www.omdistro.org, they package up Nagios, 
check_mk, nagvis, pnp4nagios and some other tools into a nice, neat, 
integrated monitoring system.  Nagios is the engine but by using 
check_mk and it's agents the configuration learning curve is much 
better.  I've done nagios by itself and hated the amount work it took to 
configure it.
