This is indeed the case, while at first it may seem as a major drawback
to the software, given time, you will realise that it's one of its best
features.

The effort you place into making Nagios work for you is the reason for
its value. If you look at other products with 'autodiscovery' features
you will often find that they discover useless hosts and services which
have no real impact in your overall service delivery.

By making you hand-tune your monitoring Nagios ensures that you only
monitor and alarm on what really matters.

Just my gem for a Friday.
