Why did fedora choose zabbix? How it is compared to nagios?
I'm not sure that it's been chosen *yet* but is still in a way going through some evaluation. Although I'm guessing it will be picked. You should check the fedora-infrastructure mailing list archives for discussion.
I think nagios had some shortcomings, and there were a lot of people who were familiar with and liked Zabbix vs the other alternatives. One in particular, ZenOSS, is not suitable for packaging in Fedora currently -- which is a prerequisite for any software package that Infrastructure uses.
