Nagios Support Forum

Good morning everybody,
i'm trying to use nagios on my job and i'm having problems to configure it.
At the moment this is my situation http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/828/99a1.jpg, i'm trying to configure both service but without sucess.

I had follow this tutorial, http://www.iceflatline.com/2009/08/how- ... tu-server/ and when i make sudo indexmaker --output=/var/www/mrtg/index.html /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg terminal returns me that ERROR: did not find any matching data in cfg file

The error in the image you showed indicates you may have permissions issues or your plugins are in the wrong location. Have you made sure to put custom plugins in the correct directory for ubuntu? Have you also made sure they are executable?

i follow this guide without problems, and my plugins version is 1.4.16 :/ i suppose plugins are in the right folder if this guide is correct.

What folder are the plugins in, and what permissions do they presently have?

/home/myuser/downloads/nagios-plugins-1.5 with all permissions

where is suppose to put them ?

I would highly suggest following our documentation on installing nagios from source, provided you did not previously install via package. http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... Source.pdf

in the tutorial seems that i'm suppose download nagios version 4.0.0 but after they execute tar zxvf nagios-3.4.1.tar.gz, wich version should i use ?

edit: i choose 4.0.0 and i found a new error, root@*****:/tmp# ./configure --with-nagios-group=nagios --with-command-group=nagcmd -–with-mail=/usr/bin/sendmail
-bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

edit2: if i try in the nagios folder (is suppose to do here, am i wrong?) root@******:/tmp/nagios# ./configure --with-nagios-group=nagios --with-command-group=nagcmd -–with-mail=/usr/bin/sendmail
configure: error: unrecognized option: `-–with-mail=/usr/bin/sendmail'

I just tried building core with your configure options and it worked just fine. What linux distro are you installing to? Is the sendmail path correct? Have you tried to compile without the with-mail option?

ubunutu 12.10 without mail option it works.

edit: when i try to start nagios, root@******:/tmp/nagios# /etc/init.d/nagios start
/etc/init.d/nagios: 20: .: Can't open /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

Use the following init script until the core devs work out the debian/ubuntu/suse init script problems:
