At our office we wrote a simple perl script than sends UDP packets to a=20
central server which has a web interface for monitor / graphing and=20
status alerting. The packets contain a key, value pair. Most of the data=20
we monitor comes via the linux-sys-statistics perl module.

Not 100% sure why we did not use something like Nagios but we are a=20
software development house so we tend to reinvent the wheel more often=20
than not.
