I am looking for free network monitoring software.
Basically I am looking at monitoring a non profit organization ( a church and school) with about 60 systems mac and pc. we can use some linux if we want to.
Loriot is one that works pretty well but I am always looking for something better. It has an smtp interface.
Things I'll want to monitor are:
What free software is available to inform us when thing go down?
I use Angel at http://www.paganini.net/angel/
There are a host of others. Google search might find them all. I use Angel because it is simple and all source is included (perl) so you can make any changes you want, which I haveā¦

You could take a look onto MRTG at http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/ It's a nice and highly customizable tool which can handle SMTP and other tests through external scripts.
