What are some set-and-forget open-source monitoring tools?

What tool do you use to monitor your servers?

I'd like to have something more simple than Nagios — I don't need historical data or a GUI, I just need to be notified if basic resource problems are happening (disk filling up, load high). Are there any bare-bones monitoring tools that I can just install with minimal config and get this?

The closest I know is Munin. Install a master and a node on the machine, add the notify-address in /etc/munin.conf and you should be good to go for full disk / high load. — Kvisle, Nov 07 '11 at 18:54

monit and munin are pretty quick to setup and as fire-and-forget as i can think of.
