eng...
thanks for the reply...
however, my understanding of nagios, is that it can use client apps, and
that it can monitor the outputs/states of these apps (depending on the
clients/nagios settings...)
if that's the case, my original question is valid, as i'm trying to figure
out if clients have been developed/used to do what i suggested...

Nagios _monitors_ stuff.
To accurately monitor, you need known quantities. Nagios checks these known
quantities at regular intervals and alerts when they change or are out of
bounds.
Assessing a system is a different beast. All the quantities are unknown.
After assessment, you end with a database of known quantities, which you can
THEN plug in the important ones into nagios to monitor.
I suggest you look at some tools that may better match your needs:
psinfo
nmap
WINventory
