Nagios log file

[raamardhani7]

Hi Team,

Is there any way where we can write the log entries of Nagios to some other file other than /var/log/messages? Please advise. thanks.

They are already written to /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log.

The entry use_syslog=1 in nagios.cfg is what is causing them to also appear in /var/log/messages.

Go into Core Configuration Manager
Advanced > Nagios Core Main Config
Change the setting to: use_syslog=0
Click Save
Click the Admin menu tab
Under "XI System Component Status" use the gear icon for the "Monitoring Engine" to restart it.
