I have done the the following script in the following /etc/systemd/system/nagios.service

[Unit]
Description=Nagios Core Monitoring Daemon
After=network.target

[Service]
User=nagios
Group=nagios
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/lib/systemd/scripts/nagios start
ExecStop=/usr/lib/systemd/scripts/nagios stop
ExecReload=/usr/lib/systemd/scripts/nagios reload

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Then did the following:
[root@nag nagios]# systemctl stop nagios
[root@nag nagios]# systemctl start nagios
Job for nagios.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status nagios.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Can you please assist me with this? I am running CentOS Linux release 7.0.1406 (Core) and nagios 4.3.2 core.

Try using the following in the nagios.service file for starting / stoping the Nagios Daemon.
Adjust the paths as needed.
