Description

This PR addresses changes requested in #273, which was abandoned by the author.
As discussed in that PR, we don't want to just take away the LMA pages - they are not recommended, but they are still valid. Therefore, adding the "recommended" option to the top of this page while adding a deprecation notice for the LMA stack is sufficient - for 26.04 we will look to deprecate those pages fully.

This PR also adds the Nagios 4 installation guide in place of the former (extremely outdated) Nagios 3 page. This page was very kindly contributed by costarican via issue #59. Thank you for all your hard work on this page!

The Nagios 4 update is a big contribution. Before adding that from the discourse post, I'm wondering about:

  • authorship: at least the commit message introducing this update should refer to the original author, and have a link to the discourse post.
  • CLA: since we are grabbing a public discourse post and inserting it into the ubuntu docs, we probably need the original author to sign the CLA, or not?

However, you can also use the classic Logging, Monitoring and Alerting (LMA)
stack.

These two links are 404s at the moment, are they correct?

This doc is still instructing how to install nagios 3, not 4. Not something to fix in this PR, but perhaps we should file an issue to update "use-nagios-with-munin" to use nagios 4.
