[chef] Re: Nagios alternative interfaces

[Gavin Reynolds < >]

Morgan,

Given that Icinga is a compatible fork of Nagios and therefore from a Chef 
point-of-view it’s almost identical, you might find this Icinga wrapper 
cookbook of use: https://github.com/3ofcoins/chef-cookbook-icinga

Haven’t personally used it yet but have come across it in passing before.
