I'm going to file a stable request for our architectures teams somewhen |
| 10 |
next week probably. I'll take a look at that guide and also reference it |
| 11 |
in the postinstall-note :) |

pointers are pnp4nagios and nagvis - integrating pnp4nagios is quite |
| 21 |
simple, i'll send in a diff this weekend. As for nagvis i'm working on |
| 22 |
an ebuild right now, also integration this is a bit more complicated, |
| 23 |
that's something for an 1.1 version of this guide. |

Point me to an overlay and i'll take a look at it. It's my motivation to |
| 35 |
make the Nagios integration into Gentoo as best as possible. With |
| 36 |
integrating lots of useful plugins we make a huge difference to other |
| 37 |
distributions which in most cases only include the nagios-plugins |
| 38 |
package and that's it. |
