Agreed- "OS" would include disk ,cpu ,etc. "Environment" is for
external monitors for things like, temp, water, fire, etc. Some sites
use these things heavily.

behavior of some of the alerting rules right, for example.
As far as categories in general, I agree deadcat has too many.....
My $0.02:
Network
Disk
Email
Databases
HTTP
Config Examples
Environment
Security
At least to start with- perhaps a few more. I think most items can
be
lumped in here somewhere.
How about "OS" - or System Health?? Your Disk category could be a
subset of that. It would include stuff like the Sparc/Solaris
temperature monitor from Deadcat. Or would that be part of
Environment?
