Thanks!

I dont want any with thresholds its plain integration thing is that i  
dont want to login both interface for same problem (monitoring) i need  
easy administration so i can make happy my client.

end user dont know about what is cacti and what is nagios i just want  
to give them one interface example : www.nagiomonitoring.com so they  
login into and check host services as well as host graph i am ready to  
add host on both system nagios and cacti but only watching from single  
interface i hope you got my idea..


i just want to create URL on nagios hosts for whenever i click on URL  
it takes me to cacti gharphing.... cool but not easy..i need your  
input...


Regards,

Satish Patel
