Additional Monitoring

[Brian Hendrix]

I have been tasked with evaluating Nagios as a replacement for Command
Post (we call it compost!). They want $140,000 to upgrade and buy
additional licenses for our servers!
 
I am past the initial setup phase and our Director is impressed by what
he sees. I am monitoring Novell, Windows (2000, XP), Linux, and Unix
without any issues. However, the Intel Team Leader wants to be able to
monitor what I call "environmentals." They currently use:
 
Insight Manager (HP),
Open Manage (Dell), and
Director (IBM).
 
These tools, however, do not, as far as I know, contact you when
certain events occur such as:
 
High CPU, chassis temperatures,
Redundant power supply failures, or
hardware failures (disk failure in RAID array).
 
I was hoping someone could start by pointing me in the right direction
for monitoring these "environmentals" in Nagios. I would need to monitor
these in Windows and Novell environments.
 
Thanks, in advance, for any assistance.
