Haven't even gotten step one done yet because I can't get the stupid centos server to connect to the internet even though IP Address information is configured correct and the network is enabled.
Not sure what the deal is but until I can sort that out I can't continue.

I ran into problems when I tried to run the command below
which resulted in
Code: Select all
# service nagios start
Reloading systemd: [ OK ]
Starting nagios (via systemctl): Job for nagios.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status nagios.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
[FAILED]

Please run the following command as root from the Nagios server command line and post the results:
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Odd, this is after you followed
@rkennedy's post? What do you have under
/usr/local/nagios/ at this point?

Starting over would probably be the quickest route to take. I can vouch for the instructions that rkennedy posted, as I ran through them exactly and did not encounter any errors during (or after) the install. I installed Nagios Core on a clean, minimal CentOs 7. The only thing I did to CentOs 7 prior to installing Core was running "yum install wget" - that's it.
