Zabbix can have a very similar agent-plus-plugin model as Nagios. The 
output format for plugins is slightly different, though, so if you have 
a Nagios plugin that you have source for it's usually a trivial update 
to make it Zabbix-compatible instead. There's also a wrapper script you 
can use that will wrap the output of Nagios plugins and transform it to 
Zabbix format if you don't want to touch the plugin code
