[Nagiosplug-help] quick question

[Ralph.Grothe at itdz-berlin.de]

Usually the pre-flight check's errors quite precisely point at
where there
something needs to be fixed.

The first configuration to get Nagios up and running can indeed
be a little daunting.

Thus, you probably should try starting with a simplified
configuration.
To this end you should find a minimal.cfg-sample which you could
edit
and save as minimal.cfg in your nagios's etc directory
and have cfg_file= point to it in nagios.cfg.

Later, as you add more and more hosts and services it usually is
better
to seggragate host, contact, services, and command definitions by
some
logic that best maps your site that you monitor.

I usually create an object subdir in nagios/etc and have a
pointer to 
it in the global nagios.cfg.
This avoids having to add a line for every single *.cfg file.

$ grep ^cfg_dir /opt/sw/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg 
cfg_dir=/opt/sw/nagios/etc/objects
