Results of systemctl status nagios.service are:Job for nagios.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
The directory /usr/local/nagios/etc/ only contains htpasswd.users and no nagios.cfg file. Is that the issue? Is there a cfg file I can drop into that directory?● nagios.service - Nagios Core 4.4.6
