Step-by-Step to Update Config Files for Monitoring

This is documented.  They don't work.  They are examples of specific
things people might want to do but they are NOT consistent, so as a
whole the sample configuration doesn't work. 

I regard this as a bug.  Examples are good, but only if all the config
files play nicely with each other, so that you can copy the example
configs and have a system that works, even if it's monitoring stuff
that doesn't exist.  That way you can make incremental changes to
reflect your real requirements and see what breaks.  When it's all
broken to begin with, you have to tweak everything to get something that
works even though you probably don't understand things well enough at
that point to get to a point where everything works.
