Hi, was wondering if there exists an RPM somewhere to a system monitoring package which I can use to install on a centos server. I'm using serverstats for my other gentoo boxes and it works great(and simple)
I can't seem to locate RPMS for serverstats for Centos. Thanks

I used to work with Big Brother and Nagios.
Big Brother is relatively simple. Basically bunch of shell and Perl scripts that can be customized to monitor almost anything I could think of.
Nagios is relatively complex. Works nicely with SNMP. Full of features. If I were to build monitoring systems from scratch, Nagios is definitely tool I would use.
I think I saw somewhere Nagios packaged as RPM. Not sure where.

I will take a look at this. (1st thing is to locate where it is)

Nagios is too complex.

Dag has the RPMs for all the Nagios packages. Once you get the repo set up to pull his stuff, there's a how-to for getting it installed and working from a basic standpoint already on the CentOS wiki.

I have looked at nagios and I think it is overkill esp when I only have a couple of servers to look at.
You might want to take a look at monit (http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/). Simple to set up and use.

Doesn't seem to provide nice graphing capability? (or perhaps I missed it?)

I don't believe it does.

But you could always use separate graphing package. For example Cacti http://www.cacti.net/
