I am running Ubuntu 12.04 via Oracle VB and I have installed Nagios CORE v3.4.1 that went fine.
However when attempting to do the initial switch.cfg editing here is what happens:
vi /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
^ The above takes me to the config file to edit it.
I remove the hash sign (#)
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/switch.cfg
But I am unable to save the edited config file. It just sits there...? I managed to scroll to the end of the tutorial or info on the config file itself to NO avail.
I even tried... Ctrl and O and that is NOT responding so I am unable to save and exit to get to the next step.
Please help!

Re: 1st time adding Cisco devices to Nagios CORE (not workin
vi does not respond, like some other editors, to Ctrl+keys. Once you have made the changes that you want type :quit [enter] and it will write the file with your changes. All vi(m) commands to my knowledge use :[command] instead of ctrl.
I might, as much as some may dislike it, suggest something a little more user friendly like the nano editor. That particular one will use Ctrl+w to write files without exiting, and Ctrl+x to exit and write. It does not have all the advanced features, but is quite a bit easier to use.

Nagios-Plugins maintainer exclusively, unless you have other C language bugs with open-source nagios projects, then I am happy to help! Please pm or use other communication to alert me to issues as I no longer track the forum.

or try using nano instead of vi ... nano /usr/local/nagios/filename.cfg
