Nagios / OS X

[Anonymous]

I have installed and compiled Nagios to run on and OS X client machine. The program appears to run fine, but I never get any notifications of down servers. I think that I haven’t set it up to mail me the notifications. I have set up all of the config files like the two articles and external link provided on AFP548.com. But, since I’m still really new to this UNIX stuff, I realize that I must be missing something. I think that the program has no way to actually send the emails. Any help is appreciated.

Please email any help to [email protected] . Also, I’ll be checking back here.

Thanks!

Thank you very much for the tip on Sendmail. With your help and the documentation at http://www.macdevcenter.com/lpt/a/2663 , I was able to set up the Sendmail email server and I am now receiving the notifications. Yeah!!!

Now, one more little problem, with a long explaination…

I am trying to set up the web interface for Nagios. I can get to the interface by going to http://127.0.0.1/nagios/ (for some reason http://127.0.0.1/nagios doesn’t work). Also, I can’t access any of the cgi’s like I think that I should be able to. When I click on them (e.g. status), I get the message “The requested URL /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/status.cgi was not found on this server.” However, I can access the status cgi by going to 127.0.0.1/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi ; likewise for the history.cig . But, oddly enough, I can’t access the other cgi’s this way.

I really feel like I’m gaining on this little project – my first attempt at any unix programs.

Thank you for any more help.
