I sort of see how it works but if someone could give me a sample that would be awesome. Also has anyone used any of the Nagios interface tools for configuring Nagios? I set one up that was written in PHP but it does not seem to work with Nagios the interface was nawui. Thanks, Robert By the way I have heard nothing but good things about nagios. -----Original Message----- From: Jason Martin [<A HREF="mailto:jhmartin@toger.us">mailto:jhmartin@toger.us</A>] Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2003 2:04 PM To: Sullivan, Robert (HQP) Cc: 'nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net' Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] New to nagios -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 You'll have to specify every host you want to monitor in the hosts file, but the idea behind templating is that you make one template for each 'class' of hosts, then write some very small entries of each. So, if you have some sun servers, you create a template that defines everything about a generic server. You then write a small awk script to take the list of hostnames you want to monitor and have it spit out a small host entry that also invokes the template. - -Jason Martin On Thu, 13 Nov 2003, Sullivan, Robert (HQP) wrote: > Hi, > > I'm new to nagios but have a question on the hosts.cfg file and the > template.
