Wait... PRODUCTION server... NO firewall... Man, my workplace may be lax about alot of things, but a firewall is not one of them. Granted, it's the built-in software firewall, but it sure beats no firewall. – Aeo Oct 28 '10 at 15:31
Do I understand that you have a production server with GNOME? – Raphink Oct 28 '10 at 17:05
@aeo. production != public facing. – Sirex Oct 29 '10 at 13:16

I often had wished for a simple remote server monitor like Gnome's system monitor. Unable to find one, I decided to write it myself. I posted the code and an executable at http://remote-linux-monitor.googlecode.com/ . I hope you find it helpful.

The easiest (yet practical) monitoring solution I know is munin. It generates simple HTML pages with graphs and you can set alerts, too.

Shinken is another alternative, which you may find easier to install and configure than Nagios.

I'd suggest you look at Xymon. It's a simple (but flexible) monitoring tool that's easy to expand and reports to a central server (which can be itself).
