While we're on the topic of front ends, I'll risk embarrassing myself
and asking a question that probably reflects my not spending enough time
to learn Nagios and it extended community projects.

The most frustrating thing I find with the web front ends - standard or
nuvola - is the inability to affect multiple services/hosts at once,
e.g., acknowledging several alarms at once.  We are quite diligent about
mapping dependencies and doing event correlation but there are still
times when we have a flood of alarms.  Acknowledging them one at a time
is a killer.  Have I missed something obvious? Thanks - John
