I am a fan of KISS, I would just start snmpd on each server and then 
hack a quick perl/ruby/shell script to check on the boxes now and then 
and alert you when something is beyond a configured parameter. Maybe pop 
open a term window and display the snmpget results or something.

Three years now I've asked Google why they don't have a
logo change for Memorial Day. Why do they choose to do logos
for other non-international holidays, but nothing for
Veterans?

Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
