NagEventLog works with the Nagios NSCA server. I use NagEventLog on all our
windows servers for EventLog monitoring. Works like a champ.

Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Reboot Notification
So from the looks of it, this will only work with linux/unix boxes. Is this
accurate? I did a bit of research on NSCA and I see a client-side
configuration needed but I see it only for Linux. I know there area few posts
on this stating to use NSCA_Win32client.
Has anybody ran the NSCA_Win32client? Successful? I'm still looking for some
documentation and setup instructions.

you could monitor it by passive checks with NSCA. Simply tell the nagios
server that the server is up in a regular time. And if someone triggers a
reboot tell the nagios server that this happened.
I assume you are asking for linux/unix servers? Then you could simply add
send_nsca call to the reboot/halt script (before network will be shut down ;)
and send a message to nagios, that the server reboots/shuts down.
