Been using nagios since 1.0, and I think the methodology has shifted a
little, but I am still old skool.
I finally got Nagios working and into the web panel.
Excellent! :-)
Now, how on earth do I ADD new services to monitor???
In your nagios implementation there should be a series of config files
underneath the etc directory.
In there will be something called nagios.cfg.
There will be a bunch of config files specified thus:
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/contactgroups.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/contacts.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/dependencies.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/escalations.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostgroups.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/services.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/timeperiods.cfg
These files are what you use to configure nagios.
In the hosts file you can specify a host like this:
# 'SydInt01' host definition
define host{
use generic-host ; Name of host
template to use
host_name SydInt01
alias SydB2
address 172.30.20.244
check_command check-host-alive
max_check_attempts 10
notification_interval 480
notification_period 24x7
notification_options d,u,r
contact_groups npsadmins
Once the host is defined, you specify the services in the services.cfg. For
example:
define service{
use generic-service ; Name of
service template to use
host_name SydInt01
service_description PING
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 11
normal_check_interval 5
retry_check_interval 1
contact_groups fw
notification_interval 120
notification_period 24x7
notification_options c,r
check_command check_ping!1000.0,20%!5000.0,100%
}
I hope this helps some.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
