I am supposed to be helping on the Zabbix install and it has so far
annoyed me. I like some parts compared to nagios but other things seem
to require long strings of click, menu, click, text entry, click when
a simple edit of a text file and some sed changes to make variants
would be so much faster (for me at least). However this may be me
being an old idiit not learning new tricks.

 I would prefer to look at something that we can func/puppetize.
