“Did you know you can easily change the way Nagios looks? Nagios
has a number of options for frontends, or skins for the Nagios web
interface. These frontends change the look of Nagios. Often these
frontends are a matter of preference as they do not change the
functionality of the program at all. They are easily changed and
and restored if you follow some basic principles.

“Exfoliation: The exfoliation frontend is easy to install. Once
again the key is to backup anything you might change and note the
correctly paths depending upon your installation. Be sure to follow
the correct order of the commands as you want to backup the
original configuration before you install the frontend.”
