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.
In OpenNMS that would be a 'page sequence monitor': http://www.opennms.org/wiki/Page_Sequence_Monitor_%28PSM%29_Setup
While a lot of the setup can be done in the web interface, this is one where you still have to edit xml config files.
