Dear Iannsp,

Nagios is a general purpose monitoring and alerting tool. Any service can
have only
three states NORMAL , WARNING and CRITICAL, there are plugins(program)
both inbuilt or custom made that can probe for a parameter and update
nagios database. Threshold for warning and critical states are defined for
each service monitored.

We use nagios for monitoring port 5432. It is also possible to make nagios
run "SELECT 1;" so that you really know that database is answering
queries.
