Ask HN: What software do you use to monitor your servers?

I want to setup a monitoring solution whose overall purpose is to be able to fix server problems. What tool do you guys find best for doing this?

I've been leaning towards Nagios, because it has the notifications set up and has a few plug ins, but it still doesnt feel like it is all there, especially when it comes to performance metrics.

Operational monitoring: Nagios

Error monitoring: Rollbar (http://rollbar.com) - yes, we use it on itself

Performance monitoring: Rollbar, Pingdom, and some custom instrumentation

We are using our own tool JBison (https://jbison.com), which was recently enriched with performance metrics monitoring.
