This is a list about Ansible not Nagios.  
You should ask the Nagios community about that.

Ansible is a tool you can use to set up your monitoring tool, but itself is not a monitoring tool. It is for configuration management. There are lots of free/paid monitoring tools available. Do some research on those and pick the one you would like to implement. You can then use ansible to install it. 🙂

for monitor cpu and memory think you can check in here:  
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System\_monitor#Software](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_monitor#Software)

for nagios plugins you can check it in here:  
[https://www.nagios.org/downloads/nagios-plugins/](https://www.nagios.org/downloads/nagios-plugins/)

as stated before that ansible is configuration management tools, so think ansible just can ensure that the cpu and memory monitoring software is installed, running and configured.
