Deepti, Do you have a man page for the nagios and nagiostats that can be provided? This will show the command line interface which is an interface that would be good to capture within the case. It would also address Jyri's question about these interfaces.
Although the /etc/nagios* are declared as Not An Interface do system administrators ever change these? If not then perhaps they should be in a directory called /usr/share/nagios and declared Project Private. The SMF FMRI is then a Committed interface. Stable used to be an interface classification.
