Hello Viktorija,

My favorite open source monitoring system is Nagios. http://www.nagios.org/

I like Nagios because it's more of a framework than a specific monitoring 
tool, which means you can customize it to monitor just about anything. If you 
are a fairly experienced Unix admin, I would highly recommend it, but be 
warned that it does take a  significant amount of time to get up and running. 
After it is initially configured though, there is very little maitenence 
required.

Good luck.
