Zenoss has the ability to run Nagios® or Cactii plug-ins though the process ZenCommand. In prior versions of Zenoss, this was called Zenagios. ZenCommand can run plugins locally and remotely using a native SSH transport. When run, Zenoss will track the return code of each plug-in and create events with the output from the plug-in. Zenoss can track performance information from a plug-in also.
