True enough, but - if you read the manual, look at the plethora of examples
out there on nearly every directive, get the plugins you need ( see
http://nagiosexchange.com <http://nagiosexchange.com/cgi-bin/page.cgi?d=1>  )
and test, test, test - get one server done, then use servicegroups for
intelligent monitoring, e.g. webserver, fileserver, dbserver etc
servicegroups.

Nagios is a mature and highly-configurable project. It supports inheritance,
so pay close attention to the "use" directive for templates.

You should be able to have nagios running and simple host checks (make sure
a host responds) done in a couple hours. Then just build more, restart
nagios, test, build more, restart nagios, test . . . ad infinitum.

Good luck!
