ERROR starting Nagios

[donnyforbes]

Brand new install of nagios core 4.3.2 made some modification to the config file for monitoring per instruction but now getting this error when trying to start nagios.

[root@nag init.d]# service nagios start
Starting nagios (via systemctl): Job for nagios.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status nagios.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Please advise so I can get this working ...

Thank you,

What do "systemctl status nagios.service" and "journalctl -xe" say? Please put the output in a code block. The "Code" button is the fifth from the left on the post input screen (between Quote and List).
