Basically we dropped most of the packaged nagios-check scripts except
the very simple tcp/udp/dns checks. But thats a one-time thing to do.

Then we wrote an exporter for our config/asset database to generate a nagios
config with all the parent relations, alert groups etc ...

Now we export config via cron - people just tell in the asset/config db which
interfaces or details to monitor (packet discard, error, temperature,
filesystem free %) with which threshholds and whom to alert.

Not for someone without config/asset database purely relying on
autodiscovery.
