Subject: [BNM] Web server monitoring

Anyone know of a decent, cheap but reliable service for web and other  
server monitoring?

I'd like to be able to register a number of servers (max 10), have  
them watched (by HTTP hits and perhaps regex-matching) and have  
reports sent to my phone if they fail.

We've had a nagios setup but life is too short to learn how to  
configure that bastard piece of software. Being one of those smug mac  
types I'd happily have a box here in the office monitoring and doing  
the same.
