I try it on lucid server, and i took time to realize what make the free-flight was not OK, until i run
sudo nagios3 -v /etc/nagios3/nagios.cfg

not “sudo nagios3 -v nagios.cfg”

By default only nagiosadmin has access to the whole GUI initially. You must use htpasswd to create a password for nagisoadmin so you can log in. You can add other users to the same rights as nagiosadmin.

How do you get full view to the nagios gui? I’ve followed the tutorial and can log in with the user nagios but as the tutorial stated I don’t have full access to see/do anything. How can I change this so I have full access?

A common problem with Nagios is not that is not sending the messages out, but rather that most mail servers will not receive the email from an IP address because they will think it is spam. Try pointing you email to a gmail account for testing, note that it may be listed as spam. If you need more help move the question to the forum and I will be happy to help you there. http://beginlinux.com/forum

hi!!

I have a problem. I’m just new to this nagios and linux setup. But i already setup one centos 5.3 with nagios 3. Ok, i can see the web interface and it’s hosts that being monitored. But the problem is it’s not sending me a notifications.

Thanks in advance!!

Hi,

Thanks for the article.

When I go through the above steps, I get to the pre flight checks (sudo nagios3 -v nagios.cfg) and get the following error:

Reading configuration data…

Error: Cannot open main configuration file ‘/etc/nagios.cfg’ for reading!

Any ideas?

Thanks
