Nagios Core - Adding remote hosts

Post by infusedhosting »

Hi all,

Ive tried following various guides on installing nagios on an almalinux 9 box to use to monitor several dedicated servers that we host.

Nagios itself is working fine with localhost services monitored but I'm a bit confused on how to add additional remote hosts to nagios.

I followed this guide: https://www.linuxtechi.com/how-to-insta ... almalinux/

but when changing the cfg to use the nodes template for a remote server, nagios fails to start and errors.

Any advice or better guides on adding remote hosts would be appreciated.

Thankyou

Hi @infusedhosting,

First recommendation is to consult the official docs: https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... n/toc.html.

Second is to post your config.

Third is to post the errors.
