Nagios 2.0 configuration files ???
Hello Guys,
I've just installed Nagios and i have trouble
(configuration files) getting it to work
Nagios version : 2.x (CVS)
OS : Fedora2
1. Can anyone list me the configuration files to get
nagios working (i.e, i need all the configuration
files + examples ?
[http://demo.square-box.com/hostextinfocfg.htm -> is
for nagios 1. version]
[
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html
] doesn't tell the configuration files..
I get this error when clicking the links in the left :
Whoops!
Error: Could not read object configuration data!
Here are some things you should check in order to
resolve this error:
1. Verify configuration options using the -v
command-line option to check for errors.
2. Check the Nagios log file for messages relating
to startup or status data errors.
3. Make sure you've compiled the main program and
the CGIs to use the same object data storage options
(i.e. default text file or template-based file).
Make sure you read the documentation on installing,
configuring and running Nagios thoroughly before
continuing. If all else fails, try sending a message
to one of the mailing lists. More information can be
found at http://www.nagios.org.
and even trying to restart nagios gives some error, i
guess something wrong in the configuration part. all the .cfg files are under /usr/local/nagios/etc right ??
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html
doesn't work. Please help

Well..it is absolutely impossible to give you all the configurations of the files..yeah ...files
There are 13 configuration files in /usr/local/nagios/etc.
Best option is to copy the sample files given in the sample files under it and rename it to .cfg ones.
checkcommands.cfg
dependencies.cfg
hosts.cfg
nagios.cfg
services.cfg
contactgroups.cfg
escalations.cfg
resource.cfg
timeperiods.cfg
cgi.cfg
contacts.cfg
hostgroups.cfg
misccommands.cfg
Just consult the configurations given in the http://demo.square-box.com
And proceed in the sequences:
hostgroups.cfg - > To configure monitoring various category
contactgroups.cfg -> To configure the contact(notification) groups
contacts.cfg -> To contact the indivisual contacts informations
timeperiods.cfg -> Time period of the notifications
escalations.cfg -> To configure the escalations
hosts.cfg -> To configure the hosts
services.cfg - > To configure the services of the indivisual hosts.
cgi.cfg -> To configure cgi related stufffs like authentication
And dont forget to add the VirtualHost entry if you need a web interface.
And last but not the least ...lot of time to scrath you head and move onESC :wq!
