If you only want to do performance monitoring you can do pretty much everything 
by writing a Nagios Plugin:

Nagios Plugins tend to take more CPU cycles and have less functionality then a 
full blown ZenPack with a custom modeler and datasource definition. But they 
are easy to write and in most cases they solve all the  needs you have.
