Know any system monitoring frameworks?

I'm wanting to collect several stats about my applications, and:
* have them available with a history, including pretty graphs :-)
* have threshholds that set off alarms
* allow the collecting and data storage/reporting to be on different machines

It strikes me that this is what a system monitoring framework should provide. Many of them let you write plugins that simply return the current status then the framework takes care of the rest.

Anyway, does anyone do something similar or have any suggestions?

Thanks,
James

I suppose you could monitor Apache/MySQL requests. Possibly some PHP as well but it really depends on what you are looking for? Bandwidth alarms? Memory/CPU usage alarams?

Cheers,

Useage of various resources, like disk space .... I know what I want to monitor, I'm more asking about a framework to actually record and display the resulting data.

Well there is no PHP framework I know of that does the actual logging. You may have better luck finding PHP applications that relay logged information back to you, but as for logging and firing events on bandwidth over-usage?!? You would probably have to setup a cron and monitor log files to detect when alarms are triggered.
