So far.

Thanks for your help.

If the checks and alert thresholds will be the same for all the devices, my suggestion would be to create the service checks and add them to a hostgroup. Add your devices to the hostgroup as well and then they will inherit the service checks. Oooh. I didn't know you could do that. I like that a lot...

OK, thanks, so I guess I'm asking the wrong question.

To monitor a new device, I make a new host, apply the template, then make new services, applying that host and the correc...

For example, I'm getting some temperature readings out of our ReadyNAS units, but I would like to see it graphed over time. I see that with the graph templates I can choose how the data is presented, but how ca...
