Have you tried Icinga 2 (*) yet? It originally started as a Nagios fork and uses plugins to monitor, but the rule-based configuration mechanism of Icinga 2 is IMO more powerful and easier than Nagios' mechanism. I've used both Nagios and Icinga for years, and I definitely prefer Icinga 2. -Ralph (*) https://www.icinga.com/products/icinga-2/
