Yes. It works as advertised.

Configuration is a nightmare... well, maybe just a bad dream, but
anyway there are six or seven different files with a bunch of default
values that all reference each other, and nothing works until they are
all in place.

If someone were to redo Nagios in a professional,
easy-to-install-and-configure way (using zero-config networking!),
sysadmins would beat a path to their door.

Or even if Cacti (http://www.cacti.net/) would just add an alert
system... but the developers have said they aren't interested.
