It depends on what you are doing, but if it is mostly snmp data
collection and icmp/tcp application monitoring, OpenNMS will probably do
it out of the box with autodiscovery and no client setup. If you have
lots of custom nagios client code, you'll probably have to twiddle some
ugly XML config files to get that data collected. The mail list support
is fairly good if you have problems.
