----[ Purpose
This plugin allows you to view at a glance all your Cacti hosts, and will alert you audibly when something is down.
In addition, you may receive notification if any critical host becomes unreachable.

If you create an MP3 file called 'First Order Chorus.mp3' and place it in the sound folder, you may get a surprise
if you choose to use it.
----[ Features
Audible alert
Can set permissions on who can view
Can disable monitoring of a host
----[ Installation
Install just like any other plugin, just throw it in the plugin directory,
in a folder called monitor.
Edit your includes/config.php and add it to your $plugins list, and you are rolling
