     10= Design Goals = 
     11 
     12Our priority is to provide the following to Nagios administrators: 
     13 
     14== Rapid Deployment == 
     15* New Nagios Installation should be as rapid as possible 
     16* Configure new hosts should be as rapid as possible 
     17* Complex monitoring, with many service checks (like check_oracle) should be preconfigured 
    1018 
    1119 
     20== Batteries included == 
     21* Predefined service checks for the most common equipment found in the enterprise. In other words, configuring monitoring for a vmware server should not be an 8hour job. 
     22 
     233. Centrally managed  
     24* Whenever possible, you should be able to define warning thresholds from the monitoring server 
     25 
     264. Stick to defaults 
     27* Use mainstream community plugins wherever possible 
     28* Use features of rich monitoring clients (like nsclient) if they exist and fit our purposes. 
     29* Be compatible with other, pre-existing nagios installations (i.e. dont overwrite check_ping with another plugin) 
     30 
     315. Secure 
     32* Take every precaution available with security sensitive features like "allow_arguments" on the nagios clients. 
     33 
     34= Example Usage = 
    1235Tools for adding devices and projects with connected contactgroups/hostgroups/servicegroups.
