Nagios Core Professional - Install help

Purchased Core Pro .ova last week and could use some assistance.
The vm is up, I can ssh to it with putty and winscp.
I can hit the web interface so looks like nagios is running, now what?
Keep seeing nagiosql referred to in some of the .cfg. What is Nagiosql?
So I start plunking around and I was able to get it up as well but am stuck during
the nagiosql install with a database setup error. Looks like mysql root does not have a password?
Really trying to do this on my own w/out buggin' you guys but I gave in. Need help.
i've been thru all of the online guides I can find and keep running into problems that aren't
addressed in the tutorials.

The ova should be preconfigured. You should edit configs through the CCM (core config manager).

OK, thanks.
so i can get to the ccm site, but it requires username and p/w.
Here's what i get:
Contact your Nagios XI administrator if you have forgotten your login credentials.
Need to initialize or reset the config manager admin password? Click here.
So I click "here" like it says and I get this:
Not Found
The requested URL /nagiosxi/admin/ was not found on this server.

1) could you post a link to the CCM users guide? Can't locate. Thanks.
2) tried to add a host and received this error (see attached screenprint)
3) How do you add a monitor downloaded from nagios exchange? What I need is a mysql monitor, found one, downloaded, but don't know what to do with it.
Appreciate you patience with me, new to linux and nagios and really trying to figure this out.
Thanks

2) It looks like the windows.cfg file is declared in nagios.cfg, but is not currently present. What method did you use to add the host?
3) You need to copy the plugin to /usr/local/nagios/libexec (some plugins may need some dependencies - their exchange posting should let you know what they need). Make it executable. Then add a command for it in the XI CCM. Finally, create a service check on a host for the command.
Although the following doc is for XI, the CCM is relatively the same and you should find some use out of the doc:
