You'll need to be a little more specific than that as there are several config files. What are you trying to do?

Most configs will be located in /usr/local/nagios/etc assuming a standard install.

Is your goal to manually maintain configs on the CLI, outside of the GUI/Core Config Manager?

If so, this would be done in:

/usr/local/nagios/etc/static

Configs stored there are not overwritten when you Apply Config from the GUI:
