Nagios Support Forum

I have installed nagios core in my linux machine.. i want it to monitor more than one server how do i do that?? where do i add th hosts from?

I would look into NRPE, the documentation can be found here: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nrpe/NRPE.pdf

NRPE is generally found in the repositories for package managers nowadays, so you probably won't need to install it from source, which will make the installation a bit easier.

Hi Edyth

In the folder /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects you will find several files with the extension .cfg

windows.cfg --> windows hosts
localhost.cfg --> Linux server
templates.cfg --> a template file for creating new ones

and so, according you want to monitor, you have to edit the correct file, and by the way, you have to edit the file nagios.cfg that it's located at /usr/local/nagios/etc/ you will have to look for the sections where files .cfg are them.

hey i have tried to open NREP file but has refused to open..

Edyth,

Are you able to open the .cfg file using root?
