I think Nagios uses us. Agreed. I've been using Nagios for a long time, 
and I still don't have all the options down, as I don't need to use them 
all. When I need something, I go to the docs and look up more specific 
things.

In my experience with working with Nagios, the problem that always came 
up was that people didn't know where to even start because there were 
too many options, and they were overwhelmed.

Thus the reason I wrote the guide in the first place, to serve as a 
stepping stone to get it up and running with some basic checks, then go 
digging in the docs.

I feel it's important to have that information on the wiki, even though 
it's not CentOS specific. It's asked for a lot and used. Splitting it up 
would make sense.

+1 Sounds good to me.
