Introduction/Notes

The goal of this module is to provide a simple way to use distributed monitoring as described on this page : http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/distributed.html

This module is under development and still requires many improvements to suit maximum of use-case and to be cross-distribution. Please don't treat it as stable !
