Configuring Nagios

[Jason Payne - iland Internet Solutions]

Right.  I wouldn't mind just having a web interface for a text editor.  I just need some url that I can point people to with a 10 windows.  5 that allow me to edit the services, hosts, hostextinfo, hostgroups, and dependencies files, and 5 with a template for the entry that will be added for a new host in each respective file.  <INSERT HOST IP ADDRESS HERE> -heh-.  I bet someone out there could do this in about 5 minutes.  It would probably take me 2 days :)

Ideally, I'd like something that would let me edit every possible field in a record by linking the text files together with anchors using the implicit relational rules that link the nagios cfg files together.  It doesn't seem like this would be too incredibly complicated for someone who does this sort of thing often.  For myself, on the other hand, it would be quite an undertaking :)

Jason,

I'd like to see a config utility that works with Postgres, or even
better, works at the PHP layer and doesn't care about the database.
Nagmin and others I've seen (I stopped looking a while back) required
mySQL. Sorry, but I'm not loading two DB servers on the same machine, or
even the same network, without a really, REALLY good reason.

BTW, to Andreas, throwing out a custom config utility and saying that
you'd never deal without it only counts if you can share that utility.
What would you use with Nagios if you changed jobs, for instance? :)
