There is a utility that is accompanying nagios called nmap2nagios

http://nagioswiki.com/wiki/index.php/Autocreating_Nagios_Configuration_with_Nmap_and_Nmap2Nagios.pl

http://www.nagiosexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=Detailed%2F1606.html;d=1

try that and it might help you .

 Thanks, I did do that. I was able to add more hosts by editing the
 switch.cfg file. It seems less than intuitive and certainly not a good way
 to populate the network if there are many devices. I have 200+ switches and
 even more servers. I was hoping there would be a more efficient manner
 inwhich Nagios would be told what to monitor.

 Thanks

[Nagios-users] Adding hosts to new installation

2009-03-09 Thread Victor Lee
I'm pretty new at this. I just installed Nagios 3.X on Ubuntu 8.10. I have
my first host (Cisco 6509) being polled. The quick start guide worked fine
and I followed the instructions on monitoring routers and switches. However
how do I get Nagios to monitor other switches? Do I just keep adding lines
to the switch.cfg template?
