For seeing the setup and what service has what contacts I find the the
gui's "View Config" option quite useful.

There was a patch I think made in in to the 3.3.1 release that would
also expand all the variables $USRE1$ etc. though I think that is an
option in nagios.conf to turn it on.


The "objects.cache" is also very usefull though can be daunting to
navagate, to find its location look for "object_cache_file=" in your
nagios.conf.
