Exactly – we maintain a split too. I use observium for historical data to assist with troubleshooting, as well as monitoring trends. Alerting is only done for things that are easy over SNMP (e.g. temperature, disk, CPU load). Nagios or simiar can’t be beat for simple application sanity checks. The combination of the two is very powerful.

Yes, thats what I do.
Observium for graphing stuff over time and other SNMP-stuff.
Icinga2(nagios fork) for all kind of checks for alerting.

Thanks, will go have a look at Icinga2 … I’m sure if I stick a menu on the front that says Graphing History & Service Checks I can convince our lot it’s a single system like they wanted :-)
