The easiest way would be for you to enable SNMP and then setup SNMP monitoring.

I'd probably recommend you use our cross platfrom agent NCPA as it gives you a lot more flexibility (to run plugins, has built in checks/plugins, an API, etc):

https://www.nagios.org/ncpa/

Is this regarding Core or XI?

Here are some good examples either way:
