All Nagios does is run defined commands (binaries, shell scripts, perl scripts) and report on the results. Its value comes from the way it controls the running of those commands and its reporting, management and presentation of the results. One weakness Nagios does have is its it basic configuration. Its done through a number of potentially rather large text files and it can be difficult to keep track of when you start to run it on a medium/large sized network. For that reason there are a number of admin tools (Groundwork, EZNag) that provide web based configuration. Having tried several of these config tools my preference is OpsView (opsview.org). Still Nagios at its heart, it provides an excellent admin frontend and includes some additions such as graphing of results and very simple installation (especially on Debian based systems).
