Nagios Support Forum

Hey,

Ive inherited a Nagios Core system and would like to know if I can get Alert updates for windows event logs on critical and warnings on each of my servers.

Im new to Linux/Ubuntu and dont have a strong knowledge of how to install or make changes to this system, are there any step by step guides around?

Any help or advice would be great

Cheers

Jonny

This document is based on Nagios XI, however the first part is all about getting NagEventLog installed and configured.

You need NSCA installed on your Core server:

After this you should just need some passive service definitions:

Does this help?

Hey,

Thanks for your reply , I've been trying to install the above but I get the following message when doing the following:

root@monitoring:~# yum -y install gcc xinetd
There are no enabled repos.
Run "yum repolist all" to see the repos you have.
You can enable repos with yum-config-manager --enable <repo>
root@monitoring:~# yum repolist all
repolist: 0
root@monitoring:~# yum-config-manager --enable <repo>
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'

What does this mean, or am I doing something wrong?

I can see what is going on here.

The guides I linked you to are for CentOS and things like yum are not going to work on Ubuntu (it uses apt-get).

I did google and found that NSCA is part of Ubuntu, so you could install it with:
Then most of the config related stuff in my guide should be relevant. Let us know how you go.

Thanks Ill give this ago and let you know now I get on

any chance you could link me the article you found?

Thanks for the help
