The purpose of this functionality is to **register and maintain the generic managers, who will be responsible for monitoring the hosts and/or services of the Nagios monitoring tool**.
The managers allow the monitoring of all hosts or all services in a generic way, that is, without the need to choose a specific host for monitoring.
The purpose is to simplify the monitoring of an entire network in search of the relevant events for the business.
