Nagios Support Forum

What is the version of Nagios XI that you are currently using? I see that you have the following in the sudoers: but you should have (at least, in the newer version of Nagios XI) this: Also, you need to add this line: This should help you get the profile.

Did you add nagios and apache to the nagcmd group? Are you able to schedule downtime now?

We updated to the most recent Nagios a week or so ago. So we are current.
I have not made those changes to the text editor yet. Is this something I can do with a VI command? I am still quite new to Linux.

I believe you will need to talk to you sysadmin guy first, as in your sudoers it says:

This is a distributed sudoers file. Do not update locally.

This is not something that we did (it has nothing to do with Nagios XI) - it's on your end. If you modified this file "locally", it could be simple overwritten later, so again, talk to your sysadmin first.

However, if you decided to go ahead, and modify sudoers locally, it would be better if you used the visudo command from the command line. This way, you would not be allowed to save a sudoers with errors in it. It is a "safer" option. Once you type "visudo", and open the file, you can press "i" to enter the "insert" mode. Now, you will be able to type. After you are done with your mods, you will need press Esc in order to exit from the "insert" mode, then type: and hit Enter in order to save the file and exit.
