UNIX way/KISS monitoring and alerting
What do you use to monitor multiple machines/servers/services/etc? I am interested in the most simple, flexible, and robust approach to monitoring/alerting. What kind of software, approaches, etc.
Systems like Nagios/Icinga and Zabbix seem to me very overloaded and are one big point of failure.
I know about Monit, Munin, RRDTools. But are there any even simplest options? It is possible even without external dependencies, i.e. databases, or even without additional software. Pure Bash? :)
What did you personally have to work with? What wheels did you invent? What turned out to be not so bad from experience, but what became bloated after a while?

Monitorix is a free, open source, lightweight system monitoring tool
Show some graphs, that's enough for me.
Mon is another lightweight monitoring system

my friend uses monit
not only for local processes, but also to monitor different servers.
