It just so happens that last week I installed a NetBotz
(http://www.netbotz.com/products/wall.html#wallbotz400) in our machine
room.  It was a breeze to install/setup and looks rather nifty wrt
capabilities (SNMP, email alerts, syslog, ftp- and http upload/logging,
alert escalation etc.).  So far (as I said, ~1 week old) I'd recommend
it.

I wonder what internal OS it's running.
