It doesn't work or monitor anything out of the box. Your minimal.cfg and bigger.cfg are most likely conflicting with each other. Couple things you can do here. Step 1. Read the documentation. Seriously. We see this question on the list at least twice a week. Nagios requires a slightly anal method of thinking. EVERY little thing matters in the communication from nagios machine to the watched system. Step 2. Read the appropriate distro related documentation. For rpms coming from rpmforge and dag, there are a couple decent documents to turn to. http://www.cognitive-dissonance.org/wiki/Configuring+Nagios http://wiki.centos.org/Nagios_on_CentOS_4.x Those should walk you through pretty much whatever you need to know to get it working. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
