​Last I knew, Nagios didn't scale well, but they were working on it.  Since
getting into OpenNMS <http://www.opennms.org/>, I have not wanted for
anything else.  Fairly easy to setup and configure for basic SNMP
monitoring, very mature and stable, decent docs, highly scale-able,
commercial support if you want it, consistent (though complex)
configuration files for the more advanced tweaks and add-ons, healthly
plug-in ​set, etc. etc.
