I hate monitoring software

I've been installing a few monitoring solutions... zenoss, hyperic and others... but initial impressions on all of them are lacking... I mean... they're overly complicated, Monitoring and graphing is easy... and having a base setup out of the box isn't to much to ask I don't think... I want something like cloudkick. Simple, elegant... yet appears to be sufficiently flexible. What more could you want? I would say however, I'm fairly disappointed that its a service mostly... means I'm probably not going to use it at all... and maybe if my boss feels sufficiently giving...he'll invest some money and we'll write our own...
Bonus part? Looking at their careers section... python, django, twisted... seems they read my mind... thats the tools I would have used to build one...
