Nagios XI & Novell SUSE

We are evaluating Nagios to replace Servers Alive. We were trying to use Nagios Core, but found it difficult to configure. We now have a test Nagios XI server up and running and find it much easier to use. However, we are not finding any plugins to monitor SUSE Linux servers. What is the best way to monitor SUSE servers? I saw the Novell plugins for eDir and data quotas. Is that all there is for Nagios XI?

You could always use SNMP on your SUSE box which would give you access to most everything.
But there are some plugins for SUSE

Also, we have this instruction guide to install the NRPE agent and all the plugins...

Thanks, I will try the SNMP route. We are using the NagiosXI VM download so that is running CentOS. All our other servers are SUSE or Windows. I was just hoping for a nice SUSE plugin to monitor the services.
