Opsview (http://opsview.com) has the "Service-based Ports" way of  
doing this. You assign "host attributes" with X number of items to a  
host and then Opsview will generate X service checks against it. An  
example of this is urls or disks or processes.

But the most common request for X number of things is interfaces, so  
we've designed some special pages for that. There's a discovery page  
where you click "Query Host" and you get a list of all your interfaces  
and you just tick which ones you want monitored, with your desired  
thresholds. And there's a Host Interfaces page where you can see a  
graph of all your interfaces with throughput and errors/discards.

See our screencast at http://bit.ly/dnWPJI  (from 02:10 onwards) to  
watch it in action.
