Big brother, netsaint, Netcool, Whatsup.  They'll all do the job, prices
range from $0 to $500k and more.

Whatsup is by far the easiest to configure, though probably the least
reliable.

Netcool is probably the most versatile, but can cost hundreds of
thousands of dollars.  Much fun to work with though.

Big Brother take a pretty simple approach to monitoring, using a
stateless database to track the status of anythying you want to write a
monitor for.

I've not tried netsaint, but it appears to be fairly complete, if a
little bloated (do we really need VRML in a network monitoring suite?).

I believe there's others out there, but none come to mind at the moment.
