I think both are useful. I don't think user interfaces that give you 
notifications are a bad thing. It's useful to get messages out to a 
developer or user of a single application. It's something we can do with 
relatively little effort as we already have a user interface.

If someone wants to sit down and create a management tool that would be 
nice too. We should definitely study existing sysadmin management tools 
first though to see whether they have protocols we can support - I'm 
sure this kind of problem has solutions already.
