Hello from fat-fingered-freddy again.

Having got the opsview appliance pretty much going with some help (!) I
thought I'd contribute back some gotchas that might help others.

1. NTP

I was surprised to find there was no ntp service installed on the
appliance - after all keeping accurate time is pretty important on a
monitoring system.

To install ntpd, I did this:

apt-get install ntp

Then configure /etc/ntp.conf as usual.

2. Set timezone with:

ln -fs /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Brisbane /etc/localtime

Not sure but you may need to restart opsview and / or opsview-web after
this change. Simpler to reboot, of course, although I hate to do that.

3. Configuring nagvis

I got a bit confused with this one - but I found nagvis was working at
URL /nagis. I didn't need the 
/usr/local/nagios/installer/apache_proxy.conf file in /etc/apache2/conf.d 
(or whatever) - it seems to be defined in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
No matter that it was running on /nagvis, when I click on Modules->Nagvis I get
"Nagvis is not configured. Please see Opsview documentation for details."


Well, maybe that'll help someone ...
