About 30 servers....... I like to monitor the event viewer (Application, security, systems,.....) services (and run a specific service if it is stopped)....

You could look at System Center Essentials, same as SCOM only for smaller environment with some parts of SCCM.

May not be up your alley because it's not a free product, but I've used Sitescope since it was owned by Freshwater Software (long long time ago) and find it very easy to use and manage. The product was subsequently picked up by Mercury and then HP who are running with it now https://h10078.www1.hp.com
It's web based, agentless and one way or another can watch pretty much anything for you (not just Windows). It also has the ability to run alerts which can take the form of scripts, emails, paging, snmp traps... Monitors and alerts have scheduling capability built in and there's a reporting engine built into the product.
There's 2 interfaces - the old traffic light one that we use because it's pretty stupid-proof :) and a prettied up version that I suspect they're still perfecting (the new interface has some useful stuff in it like global replace of settings). It will do most stuff out of the box and you can also buy extra add-ons to do templated monitoring of things like Exchange (these would only really be useful to you if you wanted to save alot of time or didn't have much experience with the product you are trying to monitor - probably cheaper to grab yourself a content expert from in-house to help do the initial setup).
Here, we are moving everything we can over to SCOM 2007 now because there is more product expertise built into it's monitoring straight out of the box and we want to simplify end-to-end service monitoring and report distribution. There's also a little more network and system overhead with any agentless solution. We'll probably still hang onto Sitescope for a while though - it'll continue to watch systems not supported by SCOM 2007 for one reason or another.

Hi ComiumSupport,
thankyou for the points (if you wanted to split the points but weren't sure how you can use the "Request Attention" link to get that fixed up - the other contributors also had valid suggestions IMHO - again just my 2 cents :) )
cheers!
