How has nobody in this thread said check_mk yet?
It's free, you host it yourself. It's built off of nagios, compatible with nagios plugins, supports snmp or agent based checks. It can email, SMS, slack or discord you when something breaks, you can write your own custom checks in any language that can output to a local console... I could never imagine even looking for something else.
+1 for check_mk.
It's got a scriptable config file that begs for automation like mgmtConfig and it does SNMP. For me, that's it. SNMP->MQTT->SNMP next year.
I started using Checkmk recently after it was mentioned here and I really like it. I'd used Zabbix a bit but was annoyed at how much work it took to get it to do what I want. Checkmk was a lot better right out of the box.
