If you're serious about a large cluster maybe you will want to use SNMP
and NMS (well known standards). My choices (for Solaris and Linux) are:

- SNMP Agent: Net-SNMP (http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net)
- NMS: OpenNMS (http://www.opennms.org)

Both programs have a very active community behind them, are very
flexible and extensible, secure (if configured properly) and OSI
certified. You can monitor almost everything (besides CPU usage and not
only SNMP variables), you can get reports, and so on.

Also you can try Nagios (http://www.nagios.org) but i drop it in favor
of OpenNMS because OpenNMS performance was much better for a large
number of monitored stations.
