Hi Tom How long did you come with your configuration ?, if you are in the beginning i recommend to read the included Documents that follows with the Nagios installation or http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/ Nagios did not use a database like mysql or others as "buildin". But there is a database support for mysql or PostgreSQL. The default method for storing status data, comments, etc. in Nagios is (and probably will continue to be) in plain old text files. The standard files used by the default external data routines include the <a href=http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/configmain.html#status_file>status file</a>, <a href=http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/configmain.html#downtime_file>downtime file</a>, <a href=http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/configmain.html#comment_file>comment file</a>, and the <a href=http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/configmain.html#state_retention_file>state_retention file</a>. With the default install, extended host and service information is not stored in its own file, but in <a href=http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/configextinfo.html>extended host and service information</a> definitions in the <a href=http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/configcgi.html>CGI configuration file</a>. The configuration files are under ../nagios/etc directory There are *-sample.cfg files under the ../nagios/etc directory - for hosts,services and so on ----take a look I can also recommend a very good book for you -- <tt>Nagios 2.0 Administration - (helps me very much in my daily work)</tt> <tt>Hope i could help you a little bit....</tt> <tt>regards </tt> <tt>/jörg </tt> <img src=cid:_2_056A7F20056A7DD800252972C1257180> <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td width=40%>Tom Tran <thoanluutran@yahoo.com> Sent by: nagios-users-admin@lists.sourceforge.net 2006-05-31 18:42 <td width=59%> <table width=100%> <tr> <td> <div align=right>To</div> <td valign=top>nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net <tr> <td> <div align=right>cc</div> <td valign=top> <tr> <td> <div align=right>Subject</div> <td valign=top>[Nagios-users] Nagios newbie and some questions..</table> <table> <tr valign=top> <td> <td></table> </table> Hello All, I am very new to Nagios.

Sorry to reply to myself, but I forgot I didn't get the above plugins from nagiosexchange. I found them here: They do have a Solaris section on nagiosexchange, however, along with tons of other useful items. Good luck.
