NACE is an automated query engine for defining hosts and services on a network. It generates generic host definitions based on user input.
Thanks to NACE, experienced Nagios administrators can perform queries against a host list and use the results to create the necessary service and host definitions with ease. The parameters for these definitions are supplied through the query, which means that you can customize the definitions to your liking.
One great feature of NACE is that it can be incorporated into a shell script that can be run at regular intervals. This means that you can automate the process of adding new hosts to your network and creating the necessary definitions for them. This saves you time and ensures that your Nagios configuration is always up-to-date.
Overall, NACE is a powerful tool for anyone who uses Nagios to monitor their network infrastructure. Its ability to create host and service definitions automatically makes it a great asset for any Nagios administrator looking to save time and increase productivity. If you are looking to streamline your Nagios configuration, NACE is definitely worth considering.
