Reloading configuration on-the-fly

[Gary Every]

I wrote a script for checking first, then reloading nagios. It's pretty
simple:

<snip>
#!/bin/bash

cd /etc/nagios
/usr/bin/nagios -v nagios.cfg
RETVAL=$?
if [ "$RETVAL" = "0" ]
then
service nagios reload
exit 0
else
echo "#########   ERROR IN CONFIG   ##############"
echo "# Please fix the above issue and try again #"
echo "############################################"
exit 1
fi

</snip>

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security 
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
