Nagios itself has no issues with IPv6 - the IP you enter in the
"address" field is just a string passed around. So any issue you could
encounter would be with plugins, eventhandlers, and everything else that
runs from Nagios and use the $HOSTADDRESS$ macro.

Most of the standard Nagios plugins should be IPv6-compatible already,
if you encounter any issues with them, you can point it out on the
Nagiosplug-devel mailing list. If you encounter issues with 3rd-party
plugins you'll have to get it fixed by the author or fix it yourself.

Thanks

The modern datacenter depends on network connectivity to access resources
and provide services. The best practices for maximizing a physical server's
connectivity to a physical network are well understood - see how these
rules translate into the virtual world?
