Hello, @mk_mk_47.

This is funny. Well, here's a source code for Nagios Core, it's open source: Here's a GitHub Page for nagios monitoring agents: I guess my first question is what is that your company trying to accomplish? Are you trying to implement a custom GUI interface? What kind of infrastructure are you trying to monitor? How are planning to monitor it, passive/active checks? Or are you trying to write everything from scratch? In that case you'd need to learn a bit of Shell, C, JavaScript, maybe Perl. I recommend the treehouse.com
