[Nagios-users] Example setups for a newbie

2009-03-23 Thread Fredrik Rambris
Hi!

I'm relatively new to Nagios but for a number of reasons we want to 
migrate away from Hobbit.

I've read the manual, read some of the book Nagios 3 Enterprise Network 
Monitoring, setup most of our hosts and some services but I cannot 
really get all the groups (service group, host group, contact group) and 
their relation to templates etc.

So could you give me a short description of your setups (maybe some of 
them candidates for the manual)? What templates you have, what groups 
you have and so on. Just to give newbies some pointers to how to 
organise stuff.

Nagios 3 Enterprise Network Monitoring contains some really useful
information, but I wouldn't recommend it as an introduction.  If your
budget will run to buying another book, get Wolfgang Barth's Nagios
2nd edition.
