Personally, I would use a tool like Cricket or Cacti for this, rather than
Nagios. I think the combination of one of these tools, _AND_ Nagios makes
for an excellent system monitoring environment. I use Nagios for instant
status checks, and some history of up./down hosts/services, and use
Cricket, or Cacti for the long term trending of things like system load,
memory usage, disk usage etc.
