Need help

[Zion Ahead]

I finally got Nagios working and into the web panel.

Now, how on earth do I ADD new services to monitor???

The docs are so disgustingly confusing
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3...cservices.html
<http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/monitoring-publicservices.html> 

Quote:


Before you can monitor a service, you first need to define a host
<http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#host>  that
is associated with the service. You can place host definitions in any object
configuration file specified by a cfg_file
<http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/configmain.html#cfg_file>  directive
or placed in a directory specified by a cfg_dir
<http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/configmain.html#cfg_dir>  directive.
If you have already created a host definition, you can skip this step. 

 

Quote:


The host definition can be placed in its own file or added to an already
exiting object configuration file. 

 

 

What? Where does the file go? What name? This is crazy.



Nagios doesn't even have a forum except that lame international one that is
inactive/dead.
