Using Tomcat 7 as Nagios httpd service

Can Nagios be installed/configured to use Tomcat 7 instead of the generic httpd service? My customer has prebuilt custom authenticators for a couple of products that provide httpd service, one of which is Tomcat 7, which is their preferred service.

Tomcat 7 can run CGI and PHP, so I don't see a problem with this though I've never tried it specifically with Nagios Core. You'd almost certainly need to do the configuration yourself as the install-webconf step only supports Apache.

Well said.

If you can convert what is normally created as an apache config I'm sure you could use it for Nagios Core
