General Ping Monitoring
You put a host config file in the host config directory and restart nagios. It will then pull the new host in.
/etc/nagios3/conf.d
Contains templates that you can pull into your host config files.
/etc/nagios3/conf.d
is also where you put your host config files.
- Example
define host{ use generic-host ; Name of host template to use host_name HOSTNAME alias HOSTNAME address 192.168.52.20 }
Save that in
/etc/nagios3/conf.d
and
/etc/init.d/nagios3 restart
you should see it pop in
