NConf is a PHP based web-tool for configuring the Nagios monitoring software. It differs from similar tools by offering enterprise-class features like host templates, dependencies and to configure a large-scale, distributed Nagios server topology.
Great tool for easy nagios configuration.
Easy to use & powerful. It's just what the doctor ordered.
Nconf Rock my world every day , 500 hosts / 15k services ;) great tool
