# Getting Started with Nagios!

A user guide to get started with Nagios core and some useful plugins to manage your infrastructure!

This repository contains a step by step guide to install Nagios core and Nagios plugins including the source files.

The *scripts* folder contains everything you need for the installation both for Ubuntu and CentOS.

You can find my presentation slides [here](http://www.slideshare.net/PanagiotisGarefalaki/storage-managment-using-nagios).

##### Installation instructions (Tested on Ubuntu -- Copied from the instructions file)

###-----------Nagios Core-------------

###### A)Dependencies:

  * sudo apt-get install build-essential

  * sudo apt-get install apache2 php5-gd

  * sudo apt-get install libgd2-xpm libgd2-xpm-dev libapache2-mod-php5

###### B)Locate The Zipped files given:

  * Nagios Plugins

  * Nagios Core

###### C)Extract:

  * tar zxvf nagios-3.4.4.tar.gz

  * tar zxvf nagios-plugins-1.4.16.tar.gz

###### D)Nagios User and Group:

  * useradd nagios

  * groupadd nagcmd

  * usermod -a -G nagcmd nagios

###### E)Configure

  * cd nagios

  * ./configure --with-nagios-group=nagios --with-command-group=nagcmd 

  * ./configure --with-mail=/usr/bin/sendmail

###### F)Install 

  * make all

  * make install

  * make install-init

  * make install-config

  * make install-commandmode

  * make install-webconf

###### Starting the service:

  * cp -R contrib/eventhandlers/ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/

  * chown -R nagios:nagios /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers

  * /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

  Now you can start up Nagios:

  * /etc/init.d/nagios start

  Change password:

  * htpasswd -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin

  **OR

  **Alternate instructions

  * cd /usr/local/nagios/etc 

  * htpasswd -c htpasswd.users nagiosadmin

###-----------Nagios Plugins-------------

  * cd /tmp/nagios-plugins-1.4.16

  * ./configure --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=nagios

  * make

  * make install

  * ln -s /etc/init.d/nagios /etc/rcS.d/S99nagios

**At this point you should be done and should be able to use your browser using [http:///nagios ] and everything should be running well. **

If not try rebooting!

**if you try these commands to check if Nagios is running you may get a positive on the first and a definite "Config error" on the service nagios start

* ps aux | grep bin/nagios (to check if it's running)

* service nagios start (will start nagios)
