My first approach is to scratch nagios from the question.
Look at the whole process and see where you can validate if a certain
action is taken or if something went wrong. Chop it in pieces and see
where you can create checkpoints.
Then going from checkpoints to nagios shouldn't be that hard. But finding
those checkpoints requires intimate knowledge of the exact setup.
Something no one on this list but you is priviliged to.
