I confess I don't use Nagios 2.9 yet.  Maybe it's time I should!

I'm hoping to buy a new server for Nagios soon, as the old one is
creaking under the strain of all the active checks and rrd databases.
When that arrives I'll drag myself back up to the cutting edge.  I
haven't looked at the defaults for 18 months or so.

Jim
