There is some standard Nagios plugins that comes with this project
(nagiosplugs) and most Nagios installations starts with that. Once
you're up and running with Nagios you should try various plugins and see
what you can monitor with them. You may also find some useful plugins on
NagiosExchange (http://www.nagiosexchange.org/) but for more advanced
things you'll have to write most of the plugins yourself.

There's some standards for writing pluging that you will find in the
developer guidelines
(http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html). Plugins
can be written in any programming language, C and Perl being the most
common.

If you have to run local checks on remote machines you will likely need
NRPE (Linux, but there's a Windows port too) or NSCA (passive
monitoring; there's a Windows port for that as well)
