There are many of 'em, for example I am using:

net-mgmt/nagios - http://www.nagios.org
sysutils/munin-main (server)- http://munin.projects.linpro.no/
sysutils/munin-node (remote agent)

Also I am going to look into zabbix (http://www.zabbix.org/) which is 
bit older in ports (net-mgmt/zabbix for main, net/zabbix-agent for 
remote agents), but you can try version from their webpage.

Also there is nice piece called monit (http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/) 
which can also proactively take some actions based on current status, so 
it can avoid few incidents.

Email notification and alerts are quite standard in all those examples.
