Nagios with high server count, how to organize

[Mueller, Karl]

'u' is indeed the unknown state, but only for services.  For hosts, it
is the unreachable state.  (There is no 'unknown' state for hosts)

All very useful, thanks for the info. I had always thought that 'u' was
unknown state, and was useful for when a plug-in errored, but I see that
was
wrong. That will most likely fix a lot of problems for me in reporting.

I haven't really had a chance to play with auth in Nagios just yet, as
all I
have is the Nagios login and a guest login for people to see what I have
been up to. If I can control what is viewable by username, then that
will be
great.

Grouping by hostgroup I have not done yet, and I will see if I can do as
you
suggested. I only use service detail as a base because it seems to give
a
lot of good info at once, and for some reason my Nagios made that the
default page. 

I am currently using a standard Nagios 1.2, and I have no idea what
NagMIN
is. I have only seen it mentioned on the mailing list, but not on any
websites. I guess I should do some digging. Thanks for the info again.
