To make things easier in nagios.cfg, you can create a subfolder - put any *.cfg files in it, and add "cfg_dir=<subfolder>" into nagios.cfg instead of a ton of "cfg_file" directives. When Nagios starts it will load any *.cfg from your subfolder dynamically saving you the hassle of having to remember to add a new config file into nagios.cfg.
