It's an interesting program. Basically, my boss said learn it and gave me all the time I needed. I'm still stuck on some things--some of the docs amuse me. For instance, there's one that talks about some configuration or another, then says see the whatever configuration part of this document. That would be fine save that that part of the document doesn't exist.
On the other hand, some of the docs are great, taking you step by step through what you need. It's uneven. That fellow Gandolf who posts on their forums always says, see the links in my sig--but I don't see any links in his signature.
For real basic usage, it does work more or less out of the box. Of course, we had to do various and sundry things, so I wound up learning a great deal, though
there's still a good deal that escapes me, such as running scripts on remote hosts. The only way I'm able to do it is to create an ssh keypair and have the script generate a single integer which I read on the host machine, then graph that.
