network monitoring tools

Hi can anyone recommend at tool for monitoring remote servers?

Some of my specifications are for it to be able to check all my servers are still up, which services are running on each server, network traffic, some kind of notification service (email?) for when something goes wrong, it should also automatically draw up graphs etc to show all this data and ideally have a nice web interface.

Any recommendations?

Give Nagios a try ( www.nagios.org ).

Takes a bit of effort to configure, but very powerful. Just Google for some of the tutorials that are out there and you should be fine....
