I use templates only for the base config options such as check frequency and 
such. To minimize service definition duplication I use service and host 
groups. One example is that I have a host group for any debian servers and in 
the config I assign all the services that should be a part of what I call the 
base os including a combonation of snmp and nrpe services to that host group. 
Now when I stand up a new debian server I add it to the debian host group and 
it automatically get 8 services assigned to it.

As for the web based config tools. I have never found one that worked the way 
I like to config Nagios and I have been doing it for almost 10 years.

Hope this helps,
Syd
