Revert from using Nconf

[sully6119]

My predecessor started 3 large Nagios installations using Nconf and I'm not feeling it. I'd rather manage configs by hand because the overall design freedom and for easier automation. So I guess I'm looking for anyone who has ditched Nconf to fill me in on their experience. As best I can tell, it looks like mostly just cleaning up the configs but this is all production stuff and I want to know if there are any gotchas before I get started. Anyone?

As far as I know, Nconf just directly reads and writes Nagios' config files, so removing it shouldn't have any side-effects and your configuration should continue to work without it.

Thanks. That's what I'm thinking. It's a neat utility, just isn't how I like to do things. Cacti aggravates me to no end when I'm forced to work extensively in the GUI. Their cli tools are decent, but not good for everything.

Glad I could help.
