I found part of what I want : - xynagios, which I grabbed out of the "hobbit-plugins" package on the debian source boards (we are running RHEL) This plugin seems to just be for the client side of the equation but I might grab some of the code.
It's one of those things that looks extremely simple - nagios plugins run at the command line and return an integer value and a pile of text and some data - but the devil is probably in the details . I'm going to cobble something up for proof of concept. (need to decide whether I need to re-parse the command line, or whether I want to)
