Planning for a large deployment

[Carl T. Miller]

Hi All,

I've used Nagios for several years, and typically created
a separate configuration for each host.  I then figured
out that templates are useful for defining the OS, location,
and hours of service for hosts.  Then when I added a server
I just chose the template for OS, location and hours and
just configured the name and IP.

Over the weekend I set up a new system using NagiosQL for
the configuration, and found that if I defined what I wanted
for host groups and set host group membership in the templates,
configurations didn't get inherited as I expected.

This made me wonder if I'm taking the right approach.  Has
anyone successfully used templates or host groups (or both)
to manage options such as timeperiods, services, locations,
projects, etc.?

I'd appreciate any links to documents I can read about this.
