	Hi Joshua,

	What kind of monitoring are we talking about ?  Network services,
	performance, traffic, latency, ... ?

	You might want to take a look at some popular Open Source tools, such as:

	http://www.nagios.org/
	http://www.zabbix.com/
	http://www.hyperic.com/
	http://www.opennms.org/wiki/Main_Page
	http://www.cacti.net/
	http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/

	... to get an idea of what's possible.

	Cheers,
	Phil
