OK, I think it may have worked. How do I tell?

Sure as heck looks like it worked. Try adding the live status broker line to nagios.cfg, restart nagios, and then try to use an addon that requires livestatus (like nagvis).

I'v'e seen a few examples out there. Below is what I should put in the cfg file right?

broker_module=usr/local/lib/mk-livestatus/livestatus.o

OK, so this is what I put in the cfg file. Then below that are the errors I see in the log file. Any suggestions?

broker_module=/usr/local/lib/mk-livestatus/livestatus.o /usr/local/nagios/etc

I don't think the broker live is correct, the following is from the livestatus website:

Interesting. The /rw/live doesn't existing in my var folder. Maybe I should create it?

Did you add the above example line? "make sure the path is correct." That rw file should be created when the module loads, are you getting additional errors in the log when trying to start nagios?

Yes sir! That worked. Now just to mess with Nagvis. Thanks for the help. I owe you!
