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. http://www.ducea.com/2008/01/16/10-nagios-web-frontends/

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

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.

As Mr. Nijenhuis wrote, thank you for taking the time to write this. You clarify what is a pretty complex piece of software.
After several days of trying to properly understand what I was doing with nagios, your article filled in all the missing pieces

Excellent guide man. This is exactly what I was looking for to get me started. Clear descriptions and step by step walkthroughs make this one of the best how-to’s I have ever read. Thanks again.

I’m not totally sure…I don’t use the check_procs command. I check processes across SNMP. I see that check_procs in checkcommands.cfg does have three arguments as an example, though so perhaps you are correct. I check my processes with check_snmp_procs.pl.
