Perfect analogy actually. Most people don’t relate a hard drive full of information to their wallets, but they really should.

Good information on protecting your personal information. I guess folks should expect some privacy. But if you’re going to hand over your equipment with stuff on it you don’t want others to see, isn’t that sort of like letting a stranger borrow your wallet to get your business card but expecting him not to clean out your cash? Maybe a poor analogy, but the point is … only YOU can protect your identity, right?

Hey Joe. I don’t use any frontends as I’m more of a command line kind of guy. You might want to check out Fruity though.

http://fruity.sourceforge.net/

There’s a list of some others here as well.

Thank you for publishing this walk-though it has helped out. I am using nagios with the win32 nsclient++ to monitor windows servers.

I’m not much of a programmer. The above script I posted was written by Lars Michelsen. You might have luck contacting him at his website.

Hey looks very nice . I’m also trying to write something like this for nagios 2.9 (much simpler dough). But I can’t get the end_time (or start_time for that matter) format right. Any idea’s, thank you very much

Nice, great job! It help me a lot in starting this nice monitoring tools, anyway, this is just a basic config, whre I can find the more details, how to check the utilization of routers, bandwidth and cpu, and it is possible to see the status of the interface and how can I change he default image of the hosts, let say the routers, how can I change it from default to the exact image.

Just like the nagios one, this was extremely helpful. Thank you.
