I would disagree; nagios is not limited to small systems... We're
currently monitoring about 8500 services on 2834 routers with nagios
quite successfully and have been doing so for nearly a decade now -- we
started with Netsaint. With custom scripts receiving data from our
inventory management system, Nagios config generation for 99% of the
hosts is completely automated with only a handful of special cases that
are hand-modified as needed. Our investment, both in initial/ongoing
man-hours, hardware, etc is minimal so our ROI is decent too ;)

+1 / what he said
I auto generate my nagios configs from an in house asset management
system as well. It works great. Monitoring over 1k devices. We built a
custom reporting system around nagios as well.
