Just a memo:
maybe the most extensive list on the net about system administration:
http://www.slac.stanford.edu/xorg/nmtf/nmtf-tools.html
Among the list, here are those I have used:
Ntop/Nmon: network traffic data collection
Currently the most popular and also oldest network monitoring tools might be Nagios(network and server monitoring) and MRTG(mainly network traffic). Another perl written one cfengine is getting popular for its powerful rule based management script execution system. Rule language is not new. It has been widely used in business rules engine like ILOG and Drool. It also shines when it is used for system administration. I will give a try if I have a chance.
There are some new open source tools worth a look:
1. OpenNMS: java
3. Hyperic: java
3. Zenoss: python
And it seems old boy is losing favor.
