Wait, what?  Nagios "free version"?  Is that a service from them, or 
something?  I have nagios installed on at least three systems, 
monitoring hundreds of hosts, services, etc - so you might need to 
clarify what you mean by 'free version for monitoring up to 7 hosts'.


At any rate, I use nagios, and it is lovely. I also use munin to graph 
various services (tracking counts of things, etc)

Groundworks ( http://www.groundworkopensource.com/ ) has a suite of 
tools that includes nagios, but it's a bit difficult to wrap your head 
around at first - and it is really, really CPU/Memory intensive when 
compared to normal nagios.    (I had it running on a celeron 2 GHz, 4GB 
RAM, and it ran like a dog. Swapped that out with a core2 duo 1.8GHz 
with 4GB of PC2-5300 RAM, and now it flies.)
