Bug 131942 – Nagios Guide for Gentoo

• Status: RESOLVED LATER
• Product: [OLD] Docs on www.gentoo.org

[Description Shyam Mani (RETIRED) 2006-05-01 11:16:02 UTC]

I'm planning to write up a Nagios guide with the primary aim of making things a lot easier to setup. Although Nagios has excellent documentation most of the times, it can be quite a handful for someone stepping into it for the first time. I'll keep this bug posted when I have something ready. Comments/Suggestions always welcome.

Let me know if you need help :)

Check the Nagios guide at gentoo-wiki. Although I believe you've already done so. ;-)

We do not link to gentoo-wiki in our documents, nor do we copy gentoo-wiki's content.

Did you ever get around to documenting nagios on gentoo?

Lucas,

I know it's been a loooong time, but yeah I've got some content up....give me about 2 weeks and I should have something solid up.

Anything done so far? Otherwise I'll start writing some guide based on the upcoming Nagios-3 series.

not yet, i'm a bit behind (my personal) schedule wrt nagios-3 stuff

[Comment 11 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) 2008-07-05 15:32:05 UTC]

I'm also taking a stab at a Nagios (3) guide, I'll check in what I have once it is semi-usable (of course in draft state). If others have similar docs, we can always attempt to merge them.

My focus is not on explaining Nagios in se, but installing it on Gentoo, installing the client tools on the systems monitored by Nagios, integrating Gentoo plugins (I see wschlich has some) and giving pointers to more resources.

[Comment 12 Toni 2008-07-10 06:22:41 UTC]

Yhe guys this installation manual will be great...the installation for Nagios 3 is different from the previous series. The location of the files are different and the config files are different.
I hope it will be ready soon.
Good luck.

[Comment 13 nm (RETIRED) 2009-07-17 00:17:45 UTC]

Please reopen when (if) something's ready for the Nagios 3 series, or whatever version is stable at that time.

I noticed a piece of information to be missing, apache does not use 99_nagios3.conf unless -D NAGIOS is set in APACHE2_OPTS in /etc/conf.d/apache2
