I'm in the process of evaluating open source monitoring tools as well.
I've found Cacti to be the easiest to configure, especially with SNMP, but
lacks alerting and only covers to performance.
Zenoss looks really really good, but I seem to get hung up on getting it
configured to actually do anything.
I'm in the process of looking at Groundworks, but it is based on Nagios, which
you'd like to avoid.
HypericHQ is another promising one -- haven't tried it yet.
Zabbix and OpenNMS are on the list as well. I feel like there are a few more,
but I can't recall at the moment.
So far, Zenoss shows the most promise. I don't know what it is, but I have
the hardest time wrapping my brain around its configuration. Maybe it is
because it has a unique modeling approach.
Hope these help.
