contacts.cfg
Defines who gets notifications about problems with hosts and services.
define contact{
contact_name sanju
alias mycutelife
service_notification_period none ; Notification period
host_notification_period 24x7 ; Notification period
service_notification_options c,r ; Notification Options
host_notification_options d,r ; Notification Options
service_notification_commands notify-by-email ; Notification cmd
service_notification_options n ; Notification cmd
host_notification_commands host-notify-by-email
email sanjuak@gmail.com
}
contactgroups.cfg
Add the user to the appropriate department/server group he/she needs to be a member of
define contactgroup{
contactgroup_name testgroup ; Group Name
alias mycutelife ; Alias for group
members testuser ; List of members. This user has the privilege to view the status of the
servers which is listed in the group
}
hostgroups.cfg
This allows you to create groups to organise the hosts
define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name testhostgroup
alias mycutelife
contact_groups testgroup
members server1.hostname.com,server2.hostname.com,server3.hostname.com,server4.hostname.com
}
hosts.cfg
This contains all the devices you want nagios to check
#############First Server#############
define host{
use generic-host ; Name of host template to use
host_name server1.hostname.com
alias server1
address 192.168.1.1
check_command check-host-alive
max_check_attempts 10
notification_interval 120
notification_period 24x7
notification_options d,u,r
}
#############Second Server#############
define host{
use generic-host ; Name of host template to use
host_name server2.hostname.com
alias server2
address 192.168.1.2
check_command check-host-alive
max_check_attempts 10
notification_interval 120
notification_period 24x7
notification_options d,u,r
}
services.cfg
If we give host_name (host_name test.test.com) in place of hostgroup_name, we have to add each service entries to be monitored for each server. But if we give hostgroup_name and all hosts or servers are defined in the file hostgroups.cfg, we need only one entry for each service for all servers.
#########We can define the services to monitor#############
