Can you show us the contents of your
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg file?
Can you also share the outputs of:
Code: Select all
ls -al /usr/local/nagios/var/
ls -al /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/

I believe something failed during install. Just compared this to a stock system I spun up yesterday -
Code: Select all
check_result_path=/usr/local/nagios/var/spool/checkresults
Code: Select all
root@localhost:/usr/local/nagios/etc# ls -al /usr/local/nagios/var

You are missing quite a bit of files / folders that should have been created. What instructions did you follow during install? It might be worth starting fresh, and follow our official documentation as these as they should work perfectly -

Can you login as root to the Nagios server, run the following commands and post the output?
Code: Select all
ls -al /usr/local/nagios/
ls -al /usr/local/nagios/var/
ls -al /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/

have you by any chance followed a guide that told you how to setup a ram disk to give better performance in nagios?
