Re: [Nagios-users] Configuration Planning
I have read a decent amount of nagios documentation. I was looking for an easy answer for question 2. But as for question 1... this is an ossim specific question whether the asset page adds hosts for nagios. I have looked through the nagios documentation and there is not much mention of ossim. - I only ask because I did not see any new data coming in after I added a host into a config file.
