I have a fairly simple database I keep the hosts in, and then just run a 
cron script that pulls the hosts and builds the nagios config files 
based on that.  I still need to hand edit the commands.conf file to add 
checks, but monitoring a new host is as simple as a checkbox as is 
adding additional service checks.  While I don't mind editing the config 
files, I don't want to be "The Nagios guy" and have all the other admins 
send me tasks to add/remove hosts and services.  Click, click, click, 
submit.  Done.
