Nagios can monitor anything that has a plugin written for it. Sometimes we'll have some default plugins you can use and other times you may need to search to find something useful.

I would initially suggest checking out the default wizards in XI:

For monitoring websites I would recommend checking out the website wizards - https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf.

The SNMP wizards can be great since a lot of devices will use SNMP:

And the NCPA software can be used to do a lot of things like check services, Windows counters, system stats, etc...

If there doesn't seem to be a wizard that will work for you can try searching the exchange:

https://exchange.nagios.org

Another place to search would be github or simply searching for "<device or software name> nagios" with your favorite search engine may return a plugin that will work for you.

and finally, there's always the option to write a custom plugin:
