MK LiveStatus install question

[Daniel Ceola]

Locate did not find anything by 'nagios/rw/live'

Following your suggestion, I created the filepath used in the examples on the setup (/var/lib/nagios/rw) then restarted Nagios and the log now shows that it is functioning.

Thanks!

If not installed already, I would install locate: apt-get install locate

Then run: locate 'nagios/rw/live'
     If nothing then create the directory, else if the directory path found update your nagios.cfg file with the path found.

Maybe before all that, I would run through the make install process again to ensure there were no errors causing the expected path from being created.

When I look at the nagios.log file, I see the following messages:

The installation instructions mention changing that file path (/var/lib/nagios/rw/live) to the directory that Nagios Pipe resides in - but doesn't specify the correct method for changing this file path, and I am also not familiar with what this file path is on Nagios Core 3.5installed on Ubuntu 12.04.
