I'd personally steer clear of SMC. It has a history rife with DOS attacks, overflows and other exploits.

Nagios (http://www.nagios.org) is worth looking at. Nagios is a host and service monitor designed to run under the Linux operating system, but works fine under most *NIX variants as well. The monitoring daemon runs intermittent checks on hosts and services you specify using external "plugins" which return status information to Nagios. When problems are encountered, the daemon can send notifications out to administrative contacts in a variety of different ways (email, instant message, SMS, etc.). Current status information, historical logs, and reports can all be accessed via a web browser. Although the GUI is not windows based, it is accessible via any web browser.
