I've been using nagios for decades, literally, suits my needs.

I did have email notifications set up a long time ago, but nowadays I 
use the nagdroid app on my phone. I don't have notifications on my phone 
for incoming mail, so with the app I will notice something is wrong much 
faster.

But it works fine with email as well. Just remember that if your email 
server is down, email notifications won't do you any good.

Cheers,

Koen
