VPS node monitoring software
Hey mates!
I'm going to setup a VPS node in near future for myself and few people I know. It will run both OpenVZ and KVM instances.
I would like to know what tools or software you are using to monitor the node's resources or to be more specific I want to know which VPS is abusing the node in case of abuse.
Do you use Nagios self made plugins or you just install Munin or other monitoring tool on the node?
Thank you for suggestions.

I started to use monitor.us recently and the free version is quite good.
biggest limitation is that the check are only done every 30mn.
Observium hands down
Munin is another alternative
ElasticTrace by @wojons
Zabbix hands down is the best of the free ones imho. Probably the easiest to install with the binaries. No bait and switch like a lot of other so called 'free' software. You get 100% of the features.

@kupol
feel free to try elasticTrace if you want and if you have any feedback or feature ideas that I should be able to fit them into the next release.
Observium + Cacti + Nagios in combination.
best is the bluevm script and its forks
Thank you... I'll take that as a compliment
One more vote for Observium!
Cloud services to consider: New Relic, Server Density, Copperegg, LogicMonitor etc...

What is the script called again?

Server Status... very generic name.
