A thought: you could create a faux Nagios charm that intermediates
between charmed services and your pre-existing Nagios deployment.

Then you could do something like this:

juju deploy wordpress
juju deploy nagios-facade
juju add-relation wordpress nagios-facade

And your nagios-facade charm would update the configuration of your
already-running Nagios system.
