Why not simplify nagios default install configuration?
Posted: Wed Feb 29, 2012 2:40 pm
Does it mean that in addition to provide all of the required args for each of the commands manually, I also need to do it manually for every single host???
Don't you have a standard type of arguments that work for each of the commands passed and then each Admin can tweak them as they want?
I think most Linux Admins are looking for the same thing from nagios software -- to get performance statistics about their remote hosts (like CPU usage, memory/swap utilization, I/O, disk space monitoring, etc.) with the nice graphs.
Building every single command with an argument manually and testing it is a way too much time for Admins! Don't you agree?
After removing extra " /" from each command (bug in a wizard), I get the following output that I need to tune manually each command (except "ping" and "disk space" that work with default settings):
