Description
===========
Ignoramus is a Web-Based Interface developed in PHP. It is a configuration
tool for Nagios 3. No more editing text files to configure your Nagios
installation!!

History
=======
I have spent hours ploughing through the internet looking for a decent
graphical interface (web-based or other) for configuring Nagios 3.0 - but to
no avail! There simply is no decent config utility out there that works with
Nagios 3.0!! All the config utilities I found seemed to have been abandoned
halfway through development!
I scoured NagiosExchange.org and came accross a PHP-based config generator
that generated a basic configuration of a host for you and displayed it
on-screen. From there you had to copy and paste the configuration into your
nagios hosts.cfg file manually. It was called "Simple Config Generator" and
created by [NICK] (http://www.linickx.com). Although being very basic, and
designed for Nagios 2.0, this gave me an idea - WRITE MY OWN!
Now, I had no idea how to do this! When I started this I knew absolutely
nothing about PHP Scripting! I had this idea and no clue on where to start.So
I started playing with the scripting in "Simple Config Generator", changing it
and seeing what effect it has. It also helped that I was not completely
unfamiliar with programming. I did some VB scripting when I was studying web
design as well as Turbo Pascal when I was at school. I quickly figured out
the syntax used by PHP and started with the project.
It took me about a week to get Ignoramus where it is now, and this is by no
means the finished product. I plan to turn it into a complete config
generator and editor, as well as a tool to configure every aspect of the
Nagios network monitoring system. This is simply the beginning! As with all
great ideas, it is starting as something small.
