Learn scripting. Read docs and mailing list archives, ask smart. But, in meanwhile, fruity is getting back on track, and monarch is still a good choice of nagios config tool. I've never used Nace nor NagioSQL, but there are people out there using them. To complete automate monitoring related configuration within nagios, you should know how to script and automate tasks, or you will end with a web based config tool. <div class="gmail_quote">On 17 Mar 2008 19:50:19 -0000, Nair <<a href="mailto:vmanojv@rediffmail.com">vmanojv@rediffmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Sure. I need to monitor CPU/MEM/HDD/Application etc on a Data Center Environment having more than 200 Servers right now and it keeps on adding. I need to automate Nagios *.cfg file creation and updation. Say i will mention all system IPs and services, contact , contact group etc in a tab seperated text file and a script should take care of file creation and updation. Could not find much details NACE and not good at scripting :( Can you give some ideas, how to go ahead on this. Thanks, Nair.
