Ok, tried that, and it is certainly closer to what I am looking for than it was. Still not quite there though. Actually, the first thing that happened is that it completely hosed my OpenBSD install- I couldn't run nano or the Nagios CGI's. I think, however, that was actually the fault of the graphviz install rather than nagvis itself. As far as Nagvis goes, the automap feature looks good, with a couple of exceptions. First (and most importantly) it doesn't show all my hosts. It behaves as though there is a maximum parent depth it will display or something. I'm not really sure what's going on, but significant portions of my network are not displayed. Secondly, it does not appear to be editable. As I mentioned, I am looking for something where I can simply drag and drop hosts to position them. As far as I can tell, this is still not an option in nagvis, even with the standard maps. So, anyway to solve these issues with nagvis? Or perhaps some other front-end that hasn't been mentioned yet?

[Nagios-users] Nagios 3 visual map
I posted this question about a month and a half ago, but didn't get any replies. I'm hoping that now that Nagios 3 has been out a bit longer, there might be more options. My company has been using nagios 2.x for some time, with the add-on Nexsm for displaying a visual overview of the network at-a-glance. It was also useful for showing visitors (and management) what our network was like cleanly and easily. Since Nagios 3 was released, and we migrated over to it (for a number of reasons), nexsum no longer works. The author says he'd like to add nagios 3 support, but he doesn't have the time at the moment and may not anytime soon. So I am looking for another option. Any suggestions? I did look at nagvis a while back, but at least at that time it would have required me to go through a very time-consuming process of placing each host and each link on the layout manually, and then adjusting the coordinates of each host and link in a configuration file to make it look good. This process would have been prohibitively time-consuming. I need something that can automatically place the hosts and links on the map, and simply allow me to drag the hosts around to position them.
