Hi,

I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.


There were a few problems with your registrations and here are
how to fix theml.


Please include a copy of the plain text version of the GPL, available from http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt, into a file named "COPYING".


Your copyright notice is incomplete, it needs to specify to
copyright holder (in our case: your name).


Please specify the origin and license of each images.

When your files cannot carry such notices (e.g. binary files), then you can add a README file in the same directory containing the copyright and license notices. Check http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html for further information.


Please register your project once more with the changes mentioned above.

Make sure to apply all changes requested, so you will only need to re-register once.

The re-registration URL found in our acknowledgment of your earlier registration will direct you to the proper location where you can re-register your project.

Regards.

  • License: GNU General Public License v2 or later





Description:

I have spent hours ploughing through the internet looking for a decent graphical interface (web-based or other) for configuring Nagios 3.0 - but to no avail! There simply is no decent config utility out there that works with Nagios 3.0!! All the config utilities I found seemed to have been abandoned halfway through development!

I scoured NagiosExchange.org and came accross a PHP-based config generator that generated a basic configuration of a host for you and displayed it on-screen. From there you had to copy and paste the configuration into your nagios hosts.cfg file manually. It was called "Simple Config Generator" and created by [NICK] (http://www.linickx.com). Although being very basic, and designed for Nagios 2.0, this gave me an idea - WRITE MY OWN!

Now, I had no idea how to do this! When I started this I knew absolutely nothing about PHP Scripting! I had this idea and no clue on where to start.So I started playing with the scripting in "Simple Config Generator", changing it and seeing what effect it has. It also helped that I was not completely unfamiliar with programming. I did some VB scripting when I was studying web design as well as Turbo Pascal when I was at school. I quickly figured out the syntax used by PHP and started with the project.

It took me about two weeks to get Ignoramus where it is now, and this is by no means the finished product. I plan to turn it into a complete config generator and editor, as well as a tool to configure every aspect of the Nagios network monitoring system. This is simply the beginning! As with all great ideas, it is starting as something small.
