Anyone new to monitoring a network is going to be up against a learning curve somehwere. Start with something you are comfortable with until you start to understand really what is at hand. I have driven many of them and they all have plusses and minuses.
If you want something that can monitor most services, collect snmp data, process snmp traps, send thresold alarms, and send out alerts with minimal fuss OpenNMS is the way to go IMHO. I like another poster got involved with the project after understanding its capabilties and potential. Before using Open Source NMS tools I used the gammot of enterprise tools outside of smarts and spectrum, plus their is a lot of interest from the carrier side as well in the project, that always make one warm and fuzzy as the carriers typically drive the technologies that enterprises will end up using.
Thanks for proving your ignorance, would you care to publish your URL and offer it to the boys at LSD for hacking fun. It would be in your own self interests.
qmail, the original offer was 500$ to anyone that can hack it, last I saw it the offer is 1000$ and it still has never been hacked. I Haven't checked today but I am sure I would have heard if some had.
