+Sitesummary generated Nagios configuration
+------------------------------------------
+
+Since version 0.0.51, there is experimental code in sitesummary to
+generate Nagios configuration based on the collected information. To
+enable this, install nagios3 and nagios-plugins-standard, edit
+/etc/default/nagios3 to include
+'NAGIOSCFG=/etc/nagios3/sitesummary.cfg' and run the sitesummary cron
+job. These commands as root should do the trick.
+
+ aptitude install nagios3 nagios-plugins-standard
+ echo 'NAGIOSCFG="/etc/nagios3/sitesummary.cfg"' >> /etc/default/nagios3
+ /etc/cron.daily/sitesummary
+ /etc/init.d/nagios3 restart
+
+The current version of the code run all Nagios checks locally, so it
+only work on a single machine. The plan is to change this to use NRPE
+to work with a network of machines.

system to collect key info about all the machines on a site, to help
the sysadmin keep track of a lot of hosts.
