I'd guess: - vpn info. I'd like to get our vpn info in there so we have the right dependencies so we can only get one alert from a site being down instead of 10. ;) - contacts - services - perhaps we could populate these in infra-hosts too? Not sure how best to do this. I guess the next step I would say is look at our current nagios config and see how we can autogenerate the rest of it, or at least the parts related to machines. kevin
