Add/Remove Users

[Correy.Gilliard]

Good Morning All!

My company is a network services provider and I have a client who utilizes the Nagios Core (V3.4.1) platform. I am completely new to this application and need to know how to add/remove users as well as update notification templates. Any help
that you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards

Here it the link for the online documentation for Nagios Core 3.x.
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nagi ... n/toc.html

The sections that would help you the most is Configuring, Running Nagios and The Basics section.

In the default folder location "/usr/local/nagios/etc" are the main configuration files you are going to edit. All you would have to do is grep for the username in those files, remove the usernames in all of the contacts, contactgroups, etc and then run a configuration check on the configuration files to see if it was done correctly.

Here is the configuration check.

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

If it passes, you would restart the server by following the instructions in this link.

It is hard to give too many details as the servers settings can be customized alot.
