Hi, I feel a little silly, but where I have define a Linux host?

I read in the documentation that for monitoring windows, could use "windows.cfg", but for Linux (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/ ... linux.html) not says nothing. And this doc is very short...

Thanks!

You can put it in any file you want as long as it's included in the /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg file.

You could create a new file and add this line in your nagios.cfg (put it next to the other ones in there)

Code: Select all

cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/linux.cfg

Make sure to:

Code: Select all

chown nagios.nagios /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/linux.cfg
chmod 774 /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/linux.cfg
service nagios restart
