NoMa is for you :-) I've not yet tested it, but it allows you to delegate only contacts/notifications management with a web interface. All you have to do in Nagios is using a single script to hande notifications http://www.netways.de/de/produkte/nagios/erweiterungen/noma/ and as Hari said, plain text & well organised configs, making good use of Nagios 3.x features (multiple inheritance, "+" operator for servicegroups/hostgroups) for your templates *and* thoroughly planning and modelling your(s) network(s) if far more useful than a web interface in my opinion (I rather spend time adding nuvola style & designing nagvis maps...) -- seb ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
