Nagios Support Forum

Thank you for your reply - apologies for not replying sooner, I was on leave yesterday. I have spoken to our Messaging team and it seems that it will be possible for our email server to process emails sent by Nagios/PostFix. I have used FSO emailing within Excel/VBA applications referring to this ma...

Good morning, Totally encouraged by the support I received with my first post, I'm having another go on another subject! I have now managed to configure Nagios Core to monitor a pair of servers and I now need to get it to send email notifications. We have a Microsoft Exchange server, but in all the ...

Finally sorted it! The correct sequence of commands is as follows: chown nagios.nagcmd /usr/local/nagios/var/rw chmod g+rwx /usr/local/nagios/var/rw chmod g+s /usr/local/nagios/var/rw usermod -G nagcmd apache service httpd restart service nagios restart I found this at: http://giuseppeturri.it/NAGIO...

Yes, that sorted it - thank you! The configuration command is now returning no errors. I can access information for one of my servers in the Nagios screen, but when I tried to schedule a check of the second one, I got: Error: Could not open command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd' for upda...

OK, here's what I have, with a few more additional service definitions not listed. The error message I get is: Reading configuration data... Read main config file okay... Error: Invalid hostgroup object directive '{'. Error: Could not add object property in file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/window...

That's really useful, thank you - at least now i know how to monitor more than one server! Is there a limit to the number of servers that can be added in this way? I managed to change the permissions with a local variation of the su command that links into our AD setup, and the read-only issue has n...

Oh, and when I attempt to comment out the HostGroup section with hashes in VI, I get the message "W10: Warning: Changing a readonly file"

If this is supposed to be a configuration file, how come it's readonly?

See - I TOLD you it was going to be a long process!

Good morning - thank you for your replies! :-) As you will by now gathered, NAGIOS and LINUX are completely new to me, so this may be a long and painful process. For argument's sake, lets assume that the two servers I need to monitor have IP addresses and names of 1.1.1.1.MYFIRSTSERVER and 2.2.2.2/M...

Good afternoon - please speak slowly and clearly - I never touched VI before today! I have successfully managed to install Nagios Core on a Linux server. I have also been able to install the NSClient on two Windows servers running 2008R2 and can see it running as a service in both cases. I have edit...
