Keeping the Nagios Configuration Sane

[Matt Simmons]

Hi All,

I'm attending the 2010 Professional IT Community Conference
(http://www.picconf.org) being held in New Brunswick, NJ, and I'm
giving a talk about staying sane while working with the Nagios
configuration.

The talk will be 45 minutes long, and will primarily be an outshoot
from this article that I wrote on my blog:
http://www.standalone-sysadmin.com/blog/2009/07/nagios-config/

I could talk about that and some other things that I've been figuring
out, but I was wondering if anyone had any tricks or tips for dealing
with the Nagios config? Is there anything special that you do to keep
things straight?

I'm going to be putting my slides and any additional material online
following the conference, so hopefully someone else can get some use
from it.

By the way, if anyone on this list is in the north east of the US, you
should come visit the conference. Without training, it's only $275 for
2 days. With a full day and a half of training, it's still only $400
for the whole shebang. Anyway, this isn't a sales email.

I'm looking forward to any tips you would want to share. Thanks in advance!

--Matt
