That was a nice link. O'reilly has a more in-depth tutorial as well.
That helped me a lot the first time I got it running.
Also the nagios mailing list is very friendly.

Subject: Re: [SLUG] Anyone good with NAGIOS? I need to remotely monitor
several boxes.
Somebody said, "Nagios," and I got a link today from
O'reilly--something about Nagios. I don't know anything about it,
but it looks really cool.
