Marteen ,
I certainly don't want to reinvent the wheel by building anything similar to
nagios.
I want to build a small deployable framework without any web-interface or
gui , which doesn't use any web server and should run without any manual
intervention most of the time. It can also be regarded as an automation tool
which will act on data collected after monitoring different hosts at regular
intervals. Depending the state of the resource (host/server) task could be
dynamically assigned to each of the available resources.
I think i wrongly stated my objective earlier, i should be dynamic resource
allocation through net monitoring .

I want to track a set network resources like Linux servers,hosts for network connectivity , and want to keep track of their activeness and possible inactivity due to network outage or any other reason. The hosts/serves I'm trying to monitor are regular Linux boxes with 2.6.x kernel. My personal preference would be a dynamic background heart-beat process which could sit on these servers/hosts and send periodic udp-packets to a master server to signal host activity and inactivity.
You could certainly write that with Twisted, but why not adopt an existing monitoring application like Nagios or Zenoss?
