"Cost" of Nagios

Agreed. However, it wasn't until my second install of Nagios that I
started using templates, and the third before I became comfortable with
all the shortcuts and tricks. All I'm saying is that it is a non-trivial
process to flesh out the configuration files, and *that* is the largest
part of the Cost.

It also depends a lot on your site documentation. If you have good docs,
it's a snap. If you don't...well, you have to make the docs first, which
most PHB's will blame on Nagios, not on the lack of pre-existing
documentation.
