Disclaimer: I used to work on that project because I felt it’s extremely powerful. (and i still think so) I use it since 2009ish and have except for legacy setups never touched a “normal” (one may say legacy) Nagios setup again. It would feel like a waste of time. The largest setup I know of … Read more
Check out the Nagios FAQ at No permission to view configuration, which says: Description: If you click on “View Config” and you get: “””It appears as though you do not have permission to view the configuration information you requested… If you believe this is an error, check the HTTP server authentication requirements for accessing this … Read more
In the left hand column of the Nagios interface (underneath “System”) pick “Downtime”. That takes you to a page listing all scheduled downtime and lets you delete them individually.
I would highly recommend nagvis from here. This is a tremendous tool to display nagios data (from multiple nagios instances, if you want to) in a meaningful way. We also have such a TV on the wall, and we have around 10 different maps (that’s like pages with diagrams and icons on it) rotating every … Read more

In a default Nagios install, it’s also defined in the host-notify-by-mail or service-notify-by-mail commands, which you’ll find in commands.cfg.

From the Nagios knowledge base FAQ: I pronounce Nagios as: nah-ghee-ose At least I think that’s how I pronounce it (damn phonetic spelling)… The “Na” sounds like “Nah”, “gi” sounds like the first part of “geese”, and “os” sounds like the last part of “verbose”. You can pronounce it however the heck you’d like. Alternative … Read more
You have a rights problem. Change the command to: command[check_openmanage]=sudo /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/additional/check_openmanage -s -e -b ctrl_driver=0 bat_charge (add sudo) Then, add the nagios-user to the sudoers: nagios ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/additional/check_openmanage Or you could just chmod the file… That also works. If you are using CentOS, Red Hat, Scientific or Fedora, make sure to disable Defaults requiretty in … Read more

It is designed to be very plug and play. A default installation provides a lot of graphs with almost no work. … Read more
