I have installed munin (http://munin.projects.linpro.no/) on a few
systems. This lets you look at graphs of system resources/load etc. I
have also added python scripts which do sample queries to let me know if
performance/index size is changing dramatically. I have attached an
example script.
For general monitoring of a handful of servers, I've been impressed with
munin. It's very simple to get it running and write your own plugins.
