Have you looked at OpenNMS?

  http://www.opennms.com
  http://www.opennms.org

I saw demos nearly a year ago and it was quite impressive at that time. 
I understand that they've made considerable progress since then and are
approaching a 1.0 release.

Anyway, its open-source, has a plug-in architecture, and does all sorts
of both useful and gee-wiz things (including real-time network
discovery, polling servers and sending warnings when they go down,
etc.).
