Where is the nagios configuration file?
I have upgraded from 3.5.1 to 4.3.2 and nagios uses nagios3 configuration files that are located in a different directory than /usr/local/nagios/
The apache directory is /usr/local/nagios/share/, but nagios uses old configuration files in another directory
Where to change the location to the nagios configuration file?

Where Nagios Core looks for configuration objects depends on the main
nagios.cfg file. Mine is found here and contains the following directives to point to some configuration objects:
Code: Select all
[root@nagios ~]# cat /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg | grep cfg_
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/commands.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/contacts.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/timeperiods.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/templates.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/hostgroups.cfg
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/windows.cfg
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/switch.cfg
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/printer.cfg
# extension) in a particular directory by using the cfg_dir
cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts
cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/services
#cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/switches
#cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/routers
# object configuration files (see the cfg_file and cfg_dir options above).
So if all my configuration files were located somewhere else, I would need to change all my
cfg_file and
cfg_dir values. Or create symlinks. Probably best to just update the main
nagios.cfg file.
Unless i'm misunderstanding what you're looking for. If I am, could you please clarify?

I installed nagios from repositories
The configuration of the hosts is in the directory /etc/nagios3/
Then I upgraded nagios to version 4.3.2 and the configuration files of this version 4.3.2 are in the /usr/local/nagios/
but nagios continues to use the old configuration (/etc/nagios3/ not /usr/local/nagios/)
Do you understand my question?

And as I go to the nagios page I have a message:
unable to get process status [\b] (attachment)
Is this also the error associated with the above?

Just to confirm but is the Nagios system running for you now?
If you don't have anymore questions, shall I close and lock the post for you?

But the problem was not solved
Nobody has an idea? So why would you want to close the post?
