Nagios-OS?

[Hari Sekhon]

Pradeep,

   Please reply to the mailing-list rather than me personally so that 
other people can follow the conversation as well as it may benefit them 
or they may be able to give you further insight/contributions.

Now to answer your question:

You could probably run Nagios on the workstation edition but the 
packages on the workstation edition will be more aimed at desktops and 
workstations whereas Nagios is a server and therefore a server 
orientated version is preferable to try to keep things a bit tighter as 
per best practices. For example, on a server, you probably don't want X 
windows etc as these have no place on an infrastructure server and real 
sysadmins don't need GUIs.
