Hello,

Good question. I will try to answer that by providing some links to some helpful articles and videos, and then just let me know if you have further questions. You'll want to make sure you set up your configurations so they are easy to manage and think about the performance aspects of the check settings. This will pay off as you grow the number of hosts and services in your network.

1. Use contact groups to manage notifications

2. Set your check intervals only as often as needed

3. Master assign service checks by hostgroup

4. Use the bulk host cloning and import wizard to quickly add large numbers of hosts

5. When available, use the configuration wizards to save time

6. Follow the guidelines to set the performance settings on the server ( Admin > System Config > Performance Settings )

7. Use the Bulk Modifications Tool to make changes on more than one host or service

8. Optimize the PHP settings
