As Patrik points out above, Nacoma (Nagios Configuration Manager) is the web
based configuration tool for Nagios developed by op5.

I wouldn't call Reports a mess though :)
On the other hand, if you download it from git and try to install it on your
own, I can see what he means. We simply haven't had the time to create
installer scripts or anything for it yet (we just wanted to share it with the
community as soon as possible) but hopefully someone will.
Interested anyone? ;-)

I really think that Reports is awesome with SLA support and the possibility to
save reports and export them as csv or PDF. There is also a scheduler to send
the reports on a daily, weekly or monthly basis by email.

It requires the reports module which may be found at:
http://git.op5.org/git/?p=nagios/reports-module.git;a=summary
It shares some functionality with merlin and they will, because of this, be
merged in a near future to make it easier to use op5 reports.

"Reports" is actually a rather bad name (compared to Ninja and Merlin) but the
reason for this is simply that no one has come up with a better one so if
someone has a better suggestion, please let us know. :)

If you look at http://www.op5.org/community/projects/ninja you will also
notice that there is information on how to access the live demo where you can
try out Nacoma and Reports by yourself.

Please note that neither Nacoma or Reports will be bundled with Ninja but
rather we offer the possibility of easy integration as an add-on if anyone so
desire.

Regards,
