Monitor your linux system via http

What would you recomend I use to monitor my linux system via http. I am running RedHat 9. I got all the services setup Web, ftp.

I am not sure what it is you want to monitor exactly, but a great open source tool is spong; http://spong.sourceforge.net.

It's quite extensible and modular. It permits the capacity for alerting and metrics gathering as well.

Cheers.

Perhaps a remote desktop connection would better suffice. Just a thought. Or perhaps have your linux box send periodic status reports to an email account or another comp via scripts and cron.

I use nagios http://www.nagios.org, it's a nice monitoring system and I use Cacti http://www.raxnet.net for performance.
