NAGIOS 2.3.1 version issues

[srikalyan tangirala]

Hi Marc,

               Thanks you for the valuable response. As NAGIOS has been
allready installed by the people who were working earlier, I have no clue if
they have configured it properly or not. the only links that seem to work
are the ones which i specified. ( under reporting link the sub-links that
qare working are alert history,alert summary, notifications and event log.
In configuration link , view config sublink is working). I have a question.
If i recongifure it, with the main config file and stuff, would it overwrite
it and is it going to be ok or would it mess it up?

Any Suggestions?

thanks for the help in advance

best,
Sri
