Network Monitoring in Linux

Im looking for some network monitoring software, preferably open source that is close or similar to the Intermapper software. It doesnt have to be exactly Intermapper of course, a gui is preferred (basically so I can, at a glance, see if anything needs attention), Ive looked at a few things but nothing grabbed me. I was hoping someone out there has used something like this before and could give me a good recommendation. I would like it basically to just show reachable/not reachable by ping status, basically up/down status. More functionality is fine, such as notifications through e mail and whatnot, though i may not use them, at least not right away. Thats the basics I'd need. Any help is appreciated.

As an aside, I will be using a Linux Mint 8 machine to start this off, if the software is good and has the functionality of sending e mail notifications through sendmail or the like, i may slap it on a CentOS box and keep it up all the time, checking it through a web server visually (again if it has that functionality).
 
Thanks for the replies guys. I did try to put Splunk on, however maybe im just still way too green with Linux, but I cant find a way to actually start the program. It didnt add a menu item, its not in the menu editor in mint as an option to add either. I looked at the other two online, but Splunk was the one that stood out and also had a .deb installer, I figured it would be the quickest one to look at, but apparently I was wrong, i have got to just be missing something here as far as how to start the program.
