Nagios quickstart for Fedora

[jwoon]

Hi,

Am familiar with BMC Patrol, CA-DB/Server Vision and Argent.

I would like to learn more on this product and hope to be able to push Nagios.

Questions.

1) In the quickstart, it says be able configured to monitor a few aspects of your local system (CPU load, disk usage, etc.) So, where is the quick start guide? I was browsing on the nagios console and can't find them. Any direct link to them. Why not monitor this cpu, diskspace or memory monitoring as a default? Any harm?

What You'll End Up With

If you follow these instructions, here's what you'll end up with:

* Nagios and the plugins will be installed underneath /usr/local/nagios
* Nagios will be configured to monitor a few aspects of your local system (CPU load, disk usage, etc.)
* The Nagios web interface will be accessible at http://localhost/nagios/

The quickstart guides are known to be woefully out of date and inaccurate at this point. Updating those is on my to-do list. In their current state, I believe the issue is simply that Nagios has changed its default config since that was written.

Any kind souls who can direct me to some simple steps to monito cpu?

Should not be more than 10 simple steps I suppose?

Thanks.
