Do Zabbix or Zenoss allow for this sort of testing that Nagios has?
OK, thanks. I'll dig more into passive checks
I think its the active tests you are looking for ( tests run from the zabbix-server rather than on the agent ). Easy one to start with is the web tests, where the zabbix-server can go through a series of mouse-clicks and test for content on each 'step', resulting in a pass/fail.
quite handy to be able to throw those together in seconds. I remember having to use www::mechanize and webrat etc to write a httpclient in order to achieve this on nagios
