############################################################################## # # NAGIOS.CFG - Sample Main Config File for Nagios 2.10 # # Read the documentation for more information on this configuration # file. I've provided some comments here, but things may not be so # clear without further explanation. # # Last Modified: 12-21-2006 # ############################################################################## # LOG FILE # This is the main log file where service and host events are logged # for historical purposes. This should be the first option specified # in the config file!!! log_file=/var/log/nagios/nagios.log # OBJECT CONFIGURATION FILE(S) # This is the configuration file in which you define hosts, host # groups, contacts, contact groups, services, etc. I guess it would # be better called an object definition file, but for historical # reasons it isn't. You can split object definitions into several # different config files by using multiple cfg_file statements here. # Nagios will read and process all the config files you define. # This can be very useful if you want to keep command definitions # separate from host and contact definitions... # Command definitions cfg_dir=/etc/nagios/commands # Host and service definitions for monitoring machines cfg_dir=/etc/nagios/nodes # General configuration options cfg_file=/etc/nagios/general.cfg # You can split other types of object definitions across several # config files if you wish (as done here), or keep them all in a # single config file. #cfg_file=/etc/nagios/contactgroups.cfg #cfg_file=/etc/nagios/contacts.cfg #cfg_file=/etc/nagios/dependencies.cfg #cfg_file=/etc/nagios/escalations.cfg #cfg_file=/etc/nagios/hostgroups.cfg #cfg_file=/etc/nagios/hosts.cfg #cfg_file=/etc/nagios/services.cfg #cfg_file=/etc/nagios/timeperiods.cfg # Extended host/service info definitions are now stored along with # other object definitions: #cfg_file=/etc/nagios/hostextinfo.cfg #cfg_file=/etc/nagios/serviceextinfo.cfg # You can also tell Nagios to process all config files (with a .cfg # extension) in a particular directory by using the cfg_dir # directive as shown below: #cfg_dir=/etc/nagios/servers #cfg_dir=/etc/nagios/printers #cfg_dir=/etc/nagios/switches #cfg_dir=/etc/nagios/routers # OBJECT CACHE FILE # This option determines where object definitions are cached when # Nagios starts/restarts. The CGIs read object definitions from # this cache file (rather than looking at the object config files # directly) in order to prevent inconsistencies that can occur # when the config files are modified after Nagios starts. object_cache_file=/var/log/nagios/objects.cache # RESOURCE FILE # This is an optional resource file that contains $USERx$ macro # definitions. Multiple resource files can be specified by using # multiple resource_file definitions. The CGIs will not attempt to # read the contents of resource files, so information that is # considered to be sensitive (usernames, passwords, etc) can be # defined as macros in this file and restrictive permissions (600) # can be placed on this file. resource_file=/etc/nagios/private/resource.cfg # STATUS FILE # This is where the current status of all monitored services and # hosts is stored.

By default # Nagios will *not* check for external commands, just to be on the # cautious side. If you want to be able to use the CGI command interface # you will have to enable this. Setting this value to 0 disables command # checking (the default), other values enable it. check_external_commands=1 # EXTERNAL COMMAND CHECK INTERVAL # This is the interval at which Nagios should check for external commands. # This value works of the interval_length you specify later. If you leave # that at its default value of 60 (seconds), a value of 1 here will cause # Nagios to check for external commands every minute. If you specify a # number followed by an "s" (i.e. 15s), this will be interpreted to mean # actual seconds rather than a multiple of the interval_length variable. # Note: In addition to reading the external command file at regularly # scheduled intervals, Nagios will also check for external commands after # event handlers are executed. # NOTE: Setting this value to -1 causes Nagios to check the external # command file as often as possible. command_check_interval=15s #command_check_interval=-1 # EXTERNAL COMMAND FILE # This is the file that Nagios checks for external command requests. # It is also where the command CGI will write commands that are submitted # by users, so it must be writeable by the user that the web server # is running as (usually 'nobody').
