Nagios Configuration

Asked by RAH104 in Linux, Web Servers, MS System Center

Tags: Linux

Hello,

I'm trying to configure Nagios however am having endless number of errors and this is taking a very long time.  Could someone please look over this configuration and perhaps test to ensure it is working because I can't really test it locally.  I have attached localhost.conf.  It's important that this is working so I can send to my client and no more back and forth with errors.

Thanks.Start Free Trial
