We've
not seen those problems.
Also using Zenoss on Centos 5.2 for monitoring here at $dayjob. I've
been keeping it on the current version using their "native" RPM for a
year, no issues.
Zope is a little bit of a PITA, we just run apache in front of it.
I looked at quite a few free monitoring solutions about a year ago, and
Zenoss really seemed the most feature full, and definitely best UI. They
seem to be developing faster than any of the others as well.
The docs are a little rough, but if you have a basic understanding of
SNMP it doesn't take that much to figure out.
Anyhow, it might be worth your time to try several before committing.
There was an interesting talk at OLS comparing Nagios, Zabbix,
Zenoss,
and Hyperic[1] - the upshot was that none of them is a clear
frontrunner
(how's that for being helpful ?)
Zabbix certainly didn't seem very popular at the end vote there.
