Nagios Support Forum

Hi,
We have more than two lower environments(dev,qa etc..). I am thinking of making a template of nagios(setup on rhel6) and clone it to other environments as needed, and pull the hostname info from our local sources, so kind of like plug it in and start working without going and manually configuring nagios for hosts in each and every environment. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Anil

You can use the static (/usr/local/nagios/etc/static) directory to store manual configs. Most people who automate the creation of hosts and checks write a custom script to create the configs and then copy the configs to the static directory and restart nagios.
