When I said 'like' in the subject, that was just because the English language requires that syntax! I do not like SCOM! But business requirements are almost forcing me to use this as my main pane of glass.

I'd like to know the following:

Is it's possible to have SCOM interrogate Nagios to get the status information for all the nodes in Nagios, and alert accordingly?

I've done some googling with regards to this, and I came up blank, hence throwing it out to you guys. Feel free to tell me that I'm trying something stupid, or recommend alternatives.

If Nagios is making that information available somewhere (e.g. in logs), SCOM can query it and generate alerts. You may just have to write your own management pack.

Here is a solution that looks promising: http://www.mbaeker.de/category/tools/scom2nagios/

If that doesn't work for you, then you should read up on management pack authoring so you can write your own rules to collect and display the data from Nagios. Here's a few places to start:
