Once the software is installed and you've configured one hostgroup to be
handled by the poller, you type:

  mon node add <fqdn-of-poller> type=poller hostgroup=<hostgroupname>

on the master, and

  mon node add <fqdn-of-master> type=master

and then restarting monitor and merlin.

There's a more in-depth README available online at
http://git.op5.org/git/?p=nagios/merlin.git;a=blob;f=HOWTO;hb=master
and plenty of documentation in the wiki as well. Just google "op5 merlin"
and you'll find it all.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
