Have a look at Zabbix [1]. It's fantastic with both alerting *AND* trending. Plus, the data is malleable into other forms for custom reporting, etc.
The only issue I've found thus far is *current* documentation is quite lacking. The best reference I've found is a third party book available from Packt. [2]
