Those permissions look right. Does your nagios.conf have this at the top (or did it just get cut off in the copy/paste)? ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin "/usr/local/nagios/sbin" (I'm assuming it does, other things would look broken if it was missing) Is your apache install from the stock distr...

I have created another, fresh CentOS 6.5 install, this time did not install any additional repositories. Following the instructions in the nagios 3 quick start for fedora with the linked 3.5.1 source you provided. My /etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf looks like yours (but without the modifications for O...

Finally i decided modified the extinfo.c directly and not use the ssi files Unless you want to make the change every time you update nagios, you really don't want to do that... If you are comfy modifying C and recompiling, you'll be more than comfy putting your dynamic code in the ssi files! I wish...

I got a chance to do my test earlier than expected. I've removed the real world dependency between the two services so that I can control them separately. Now I have an HTTP check that just looks for a response on port 80 and an SMTP check that just looks for a response on port 25. Both are in an 'o...

I appreciate the headcheck. In my initial configs, I'm pretty sure I tried a scenario that would allow me to stop the parent service separately while the child service was still available. When stopping the parent service, and letting it go critical first, then causing the child service to go critic...

With the nagios4 release, I was excited to read about the new Service Parents. References: Nagios 4 announcement mentioning service parents Relevant excerpt from Section 2: "Services now support a parents attribute. A service parent performs a function similar to host parents and can be used in...
