PNP4Nagios integration
======================

As of 2012/01 debian packages for pnp4nagios are availible from lenny-backports on.

In the default config files the "Bulk Mode with NPCD" is used
(see http://docs.pnp4nagios.org/en/pnp-0.6/config for more infos about the different
modes).

Include the nagios::pnp4nagios::popup class for fancy popups when you hoover over
the extra service action image.


Please include this in your nagios.cfg:

process_performance_data=1

For hosts you need to use the host-pnp definition, for services the srv-pnp def.
i.e.

    @@nagios_service { "ping_example_node":
        use => "generic-service,srv-pnp",
        ...

    nagios_host { 'example_node':
            use => 'generic-host,host-pnp',
            ...
