If you have a lot of machines that have a lot of similar
configuration settings with only minor changes Nagios does have the
template configuration option that allows you to make the generic
template for both services and hosts and use that to fill in the bulk of
the data for each service or host rather than having to add it for each
one... We've been using netsaint/nagios to monitor or network (both IPv4
and IPv6) for over the past years... The IPv6 support has been because I
actually went and patched the code locally, the next release of the
nagios plugins (post-1.3.0) will be including completely AF-indepedent
functionality... Currently CVS version has most network based plugins
using AF-independent with some exceptions for those that call external
programs...
Prior to using this we had a previous old install of Big
Brother which everyone on the admin team hated with a passion... Our
personal opinion netsaint/nagios has been the best and more featureful
open-source monitoring package I've used... I know on the appropriate
nagios mailing lists there are some discussion going on regarding a
better web based configuration system for it...
