For those of you who haven't seen Hyperic, think of Nagios with a fancy web UI
including notification management, scheduled tasks, historical reporting, and
specific monitioring tools for PostgreSQL databases and other common
applications.    As a comparison,  Nagios::Hyperic --> ed::vi  or
amanda::Arkieka

The one hitch there is that all of this functionality would require that
Hyperic have a server to collect data and run the web interface -- it has
substantial resource consumption.  Possibly Hyperic LLC would supply this
too, in exchange for a case study, but we'd have to ask them.
