I can second Zabbix. We use it in our current setup 100+ servers, works OK. Also you can take Nagios. or one of the clones One of previous my previous monitoring solutions had 10000+ specialized requests/hour with help of custom scripts in perl & C.
One thing to consider. Most of monitoring solutioms use Round-Robin Database (RRD) as backend storage for time-series data. If you'll need fine granularity for "old" (beginning with minuts/hours) data avoid those setups. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-Robin_Database Regards, Evgeniy.
