===== Nagios Tips =====


==== Nagios Start/Stop/Reload/Restart ====
Copy & Paste:
  
  service nagios start
  service nagios stop
  service nagios reload
  service nagios restart
  
  
==== Nagios check config command ====

If you get a configuration error during Nagios startup, the check command shows exactly where the error is:
  
  /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg 


==== Set Read-Only users in Nagios ====

First create the user with the command //htpasswd2// (see section [[linux:commands|Commands that usually I forget
]]). \\
In the front-end configuration file (/usr/local/nagios/etc///cgi.cfg//) add the users (comma separated) in the parameter //authorized_for_read_only//:

  authorized_for_read_only=user1,user2,user...
