Nagios Support Forum

Got it running again. what are the:

#cfg_file=/etc/nagiosql/hostextinfo.cfg
#cfg_file=/etc/nagiosql/hostescalations.cfg
#cfg_file=/etc/nagiosql/hostdependencies.cfg
#cfg_file=/etc/nagiosql/serviceextinfo.cfg
#cfg_file=/etc/nagiosql/serviceescalations.cfg
#cfg_file=/etc/nagiosql/servicedependencies.cfg

for?

I had to comment them out as I dont have the files and have no idea what to put in them.

Those are as they say, they house the definitions for what name of the .cfg file is. You do not have any of these .cfg files within the proper nagios configuration directories?

Additionally, those are the files that nagiosql usually uses. By reverting the those changes, nagiosql will most likely not work.

Hmm... None of those files exist and NagiosQL is running just fine.

Did you alter the default location for ql configs to the nagios default location? At least it is working.

You would in fact have to have some correct configs from QL. Although I think the above error is more likely an issues with the nagios.cfg. If you could attach it opposed to pasting it, we might find something else with it. I'm happy it sounds like it's at least starting to work!

For now I am good with it. I may reinstall it later just so that I have things clean looking as it is a mess right now trying to figure out the install process and getting hosts added. Now working on a dashboard for my IT Departments new 46" screen we'll have in our office space. I forget but was there something additional I needed to install before I culd get SNMP to work on Ubuntu?

Maybe install snmpd?

anything I need to do once I install that to allow Nagios to find devices via SNMP? Trying to get Printer Status and Cisco Switch Status.

Make sure that the snmp daemon is running, and that port 161 and 163 UDP are open. Then you should be able to touch the server.
