Here at The Day Job we're using Scout(http://scoutapp.com) to monitor about 10 servers - it's pretty easy to set up, and grows well as your cluster does. You also get to write plugins in Ruby, which is pretty fun.

Looks pretty decent, but expensive!

I tried out the trial for serverdensity, and it seemed pretty nice. I ended up just going with a self hosted collectd aggregator though.

Yeah, looks like exactly what I want. But the cheapest option is more expensive than all my infrastructure put together :(.

Are you building a business, or a hobby?

At this point, the project is nothing more than a proof of concept with no expectation of earning any revenue.
