and resolve IT infrastructure problems before they affect critical business
processes.
-Nagios requires a "nagios" user and group; create these before running the
-SlackBuild script. Examples:
-
- # groupadd -g 213 nagios
- # useradd -u 213 -d /dev/null -s /bin/false -g nagios nagios
-
-For some scripts to work, it is necessary to include the 'apache' user in
-the nagios group.
-
For some functions (most notably the "map" function), you need to have X
installed on your server. You do not have to start X though, nagios just
needs some of the libraries and fonts.
-This SlackBuild installs the basic nagios system in /var/www/htdocs/
-To change the location, set the DOCROOT variable:
- # DOCROOT=/your/docroot/dir ./nagios.SlackBuild
-
-For a useful setup, you will want to have monitoring-plugins installed.
+For a useful setup, you will want to have monitoring-plugins installed
+(nagios-plugins is also an option, but make sure to edit resource.cfg).
-To configure nagios, some knowledge of httpd is required. Check the included
-'README.SLACKWARE' file for some basic setup instructions. The include file
-for httpd is installed as /etc/httpd/extra/nagios.conf
+Check the included 'README.SLACKWARE' file for additional setup instructions.
Lots of information is available in the included documentation, and even
more can be found on the nagios site and wiki <http://wiki.nagios.org>.
