+.5 for nagios and +.5 for monarch.
I switched to monarch (basically gwm-architect, not sure of the  
difference) from nagat.  Builds your config scripts into a staging  
area and runs a test from there before committing.

Also, played around with fruity before this, which has a nice  
interface but had some problems importing our configs.  Seems the  
developer for this got hired by the company that makes gwm-architect.
