Nagios Status Map - Center of the universe

[Jack Doyle]

Then you need to have the main switch that nagios is plugged into as the
child of the nagios process (no parent specified).

Everything else should be in relation to that.

i.e. our nagios box is plugged into our core switch.  The core switch
has no parent specified, therefore it is the child of the nagios
process.  Other switches are children of that switch, and devices,
servers, printers, etc, are children of their respective switch.

If I look at our status map, I think it clearly and trufully represents
our network layout.

This doesn't solve anything, because almost none of my hosts are
children 
of Nagios -- They are children of the switch to which they are
connected, 
many of which live far away from the Nagios service.  Specifying no
parent 
just means that Nagios thinks they are all on the same switch.
