I like the idea of Nagios, because we are always looking for better
monitoring tools for our servers. But it would appear that it only runs on
Linux and we are a Windows shop.

Surprisingly, we've been using a program called IPCheck from Paessler
Software (http://www.paessler.com/ipcheck) and the interesting thing about
this product is that it actually comes with Firebird for storing all the
stats on uptimes, etc. on servers. I would love to lobby them to include
support in their product for Firebird uptime as well, since they are using
Firebird to store their data results anyway.
