Nagios Support Forum

For some reason when you do the nagios install that is found in the Ubuntu repository everything is in a different place. And for some reason for the life of me I can't find the windows-server host group template. I finally figured out how to add a host in the core installation. It didn't work how it looked in other implementations when it built from source. I might have to build it from source in order to get it to run correctly.

Thank you for your help

Please keep in mind that I am very new to Nagios. I'm trying to get it all configured but it simply doesn't like me.

Thank you,
Fritz

After loading up a new server (got to love virtual servers and templates... lol) I built nagios from source and followed the quick start guide here:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nagi ... buntu.html

There was only one spot where I had to get the make install working correctly (Thanks to .:grunge:. in the Ubuntu forums) I had to run this to get the make install to work

After that got all setup, everything was fat and happy. I was able to add a windows box to monitor the basics. Now... off to the documentation to keep reading! (RTFM fritz... lol)

I've personally never used one of the distribution specific installs... I've always built from the source but this might help you find things: http://jsquaredconsulting.com/blog/2010 ... ntu-10-10/
