To be rather general...
If you can monitor a device via SNMP, you can monitor it via Nagios. Also you
can use something like NSCA to accept checks/heartbeats from remote
systems/services.
"NSCA is a Linux/Unix daemon allows you to
integrate passive alerts and checks from remote machines and
applications with Nagios. Useful for processing security alerts, as well
as redundant and distributed Nagios setups."
The ease of which you can do the above... well, that's debatable depending on
what may (or may not) already be done by various plugins other folks have
kindly written as well as your skills to either extend/modify what exists or
even write something totally new.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Newbie questions for Nagios XI latest release
Hi, I have a few questions on the latest release of the product. 1) Does
Nagios support the use of Oracle as the back end database? Would doing so
compromise our support from them?
2) Can Nagios receive alerts from external monitors? If so what mechanisms
would be supported?
3) Does Nagios support monitoring IBM specific hardware - e.g. the
bladecenter AMM's or IBM RSA II cards in standalone xServers for alerts?
