No, not at all.  You can customize Zabbix's monitoring as far as you want to go.  It is extremely flexible. You can pretty much use any shell script you  hack together as a plugin to the agent.  The beauty of it is that if you don't want to do any of that, there is already a very robust set of preconfigured monitors available.

Than what version of Nagios?  In Nagios 3.x I can see history for servers and specific services as far back as I have logs (which is quite a bit).

Graphing isn’t built into Nagios unfortunately but there are add-ons that will let you do it.

The other benefit to Nagios is there a lot of plugins for various purposes you can get without having to develop your own monitors such as those for MySQL, Postgresql, Sendmail, CUPs etc…
