To what extent do you need monitoring? What key features do you need to monitor?

If the OP wants free tools, he would Google:
Free Network Audit tools
or
Free Network inventory software

Some results could be:

http://www.open-audit.org/
These are network tools and can audit whatever is on he network. The run on Linux  host machines and in some cases have Windows versions.
