Post by texmansru47 »

I doubt this is the first time this has come up but where can we change the name of the server hosting Nagios from localhost to it's real; server name?

Change the hostname on the command line with the hostname command:

Code: Select all

hostname notlocalhost
and you may also need to change it under Admin > System Config >System Settings > General Program Settings.
