changing web server connection by ipaddr:port

[shubhamagarwal]

I have nagios NRPE/daemon installed on my server and can see the data being updates on http://localhost/nagios.

Can I chance this somewhere in the config files to a new ip address:port like http://x.x.x.x:5000/nagios

This will allow me to collect data on a different machine (if I am listening on port 5000 on x.x.x.x) on the terminal instead of the local web interface.

If so, where can the ipaddress and port be changed. The exact version of nagios core i have is nagios-4.1.0rc2

Are you just asking how to change the port that HTTPD listens on?

You should be able to edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and change:

Code: Select all

Listen 80

To:

Code: Select all

Listen 5000

Then restart httpd:

Code: Select all

service httpd restart

I mean to say this:

nagios chooses to send its data to localhost:80.
I guess the default is 80 as i have to open my browser and go to 'http://localhost/nagios' to see my data.


I want nagios to send the data to a new ip address and port. This way i don't have to use the web interface that comes with nagios

We only support the interface that comes with Nagios. One option that you have is to use OCSP and OCHP to basically set up Nagios to do what you want it to when you get an alert. One of our employees did a good writeup here:
