==Submission==
Upload your lab1.cfg, the nagios configuration from nagiosnrpe, your check_sshd plugin, and your event handler to blackboard.
==Completing The Lab==
You have now gained experience using common elements of nagios to monitor machines in your network. You have configured hosts that should be monitored, identified services to monitor on them, created contacts and notifications so that administrators will be notified when things to wrong (and senior admins can be notified if they don't get fixed), and used nrpe to allow checks to be performed remotely. You have also written simple checks to customize what you want monitored, and event handlers so that nagios can try to repair simple issues for you. There is still more to learn (host and service groups and dependencies will make your configuration much more efficient), but there is only so much room in the course. With what we have covered you have the basic building blocks to monitor your network.
