front end tools for Nagios

[tom.welsh at bt.com]

 I agree,

I feel it is much better to understand the layout and structure to the
config files than to hide it all behind a gui type front end.

You learn a lot more about how nagios hangs together by making config
files, running pre-flight checks and getting errors. You then correct
the errors, normally a simple typo or an omitted name in another config
file. This all builds a great understanding of Nagios.

And well who needs cool, vi is brilliant and in its on way is "cool" as
you get it on most flavours of unix/linux. 

Well that's my six shillings worth

adding my 2 cents...

I agree with Hugo, I also use vi(m).

front end configuration tools?
more fluff and less understanding, why bother?
