We use mon and nagios. Mon it a simple to implement good alrounder. 
Nagios is for the serious who want escalation of problems, like host 
down for a few minutes then email, down for 30 minutes send Text 
Message, down for over an hour set off sirens :). That sort of thing.

Sounds like you want mon for now as the others advise.
