What I like with Nagios which is neither in BB nor Hobbit
---------------------------------------------------------

+ Service Dependencies (if MySQL is down, the Website is broken, too,
  so report MySQL as the source of the problem)

+ Host Dependencies (if the router is down, it's clear that all hosts
  behind must be down, too).

+ Event Hooks (good for connecting IRC Bots :-)

<snip>

(If anyone knows that features I mentioned as not available are though
available, please correct me. :-)

P.S.: I also had a short look at Pandora FMS (http://pandora.sf.net/),
      but it seemed to be overkill for my purposes.
