Nagios Support Forum

Hey everyone,

I am currently in the process of configuring NAGIOS xi for our production and DR environments which contains approximately 250 servers (all windows in this case) and upwards of 2000 services. As our environment is getting fleshed out I am discovering that it is a bit of a beast to make edits to the services, check in times, and notifications.

Are there any other interfaces or plugins you all would recommend using with NAGIOS xi that would make my life a little easier in this regard? I currently just work out of several different browser tabs when trying to reconfigure anything. This is my first foray into NAGIOS and while it has been largely a breeze to setup, I am now to the point that I am finding these little annoyances.

I define check intervals, etc. in templates and apply the templates to hosts and services. I use hostgroups and add the hostgroups to services. If you have many services defined to do the same thing, such as check CPU usage for example, you should probably make a single generic check for each and run the check on many hosts.
