I need a service and server monitoring tool that is easy to use
I need a tool that will monitor services running(not on my computer) but on another physical machine, on vm's and on some linux machines as well as windows servers.

It should check to see if the service is running, and notify via email(text would be best) if the service has stopped or is not running any more.

Should also check to see if a machine is up and running and can be pinged(vm and physical machine)

And can also check linux services if possible...

Any ideas?
