I second Magnus' suggestion of OpenNMS. I've been running it for years. 

The philosophy of OpenNMS is very similar to that of Mon, but (IMO)
OpenNMS is easier to extend and comes with a better out-of-the-box setup
than Mon. It's also got some really nice built-in views that you can
easily extend to your customers - so they can "see" how well their
networks and systems are running.
