Many moons ago, there was a list of common questions and related tools 
<http://hoffmanlabs.com/vmsfaq/vmsfaq_009.html>.

Among those, Madgoat Watcher is free and still available and gets some 
mentions around the 'net.  e.g. 
<http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/System-Management/Madgoat-Watcher/td-p/4710592> 
with — if you follow tha to the bottom — V4.1 (or later, as available) 
being preferred.
