    You need very different approaches for 10-15 servers in a farm all
    doing the same operation because you need that to scale up, 10-15
    servers each doing different things at the same location, or 10-15
    servers all doing multiple functions at different locations. One
    monitoring tool that is straightforward to set up is cacti from
    http://www.cacti.net/. I don't think it does any real-time alerting
    but you can graph the CPU, network, and memory usage to watch for
    trends that show if you are headed for problems.
