monitoring mongodb and mysql replications using nagios

Question

I have set replication for mongoDB and mySQL.

Now I have to manage them using nagios. I have to write some php-script that will read server status.

I am good with nagios setup.

Now I want to know if there is some plugin that may ease my work, otherwise how exactly do I get the server status from nagios.

One solution I thought is to read the log file of nagios and look for pattern to know the server status, is it feasible?

For MongoDB, this would be a good place to start:

It's python rather than PHP, but it's basically what you are looking for to get the data into Nagios. Then for what to monitor and alert on, I've previously written up a quick summary of this plugin previously on the mongodb-user group:
