Can someone tell me how to verify the settings for the CGI? It still
seems to read from files, and the main program is logging to mySQL?

Enclosing my config info.

# LOG FILE

# This is the main log file where service and host events are logged

# for historical purposes. This should be the first option specified

# in the config file!!!

log_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log

# OBJECT CONFIGURATION FILE(S)

# This is the configuration file in which you define hosts, host

# groups, contacts, contact groups, services, etc. I guess it would

# be better called an object definition file, but for historical

# reasons it isn't. You can split object definitions into several

# different config files by using multiple cfg_file statements here.

# Nagios will read and process all the config files you define.

# This can be very useful if you want to keep command definitions

# separate from host and contact definitions...

# Plugin commands (service and host check commands)

# Arguments are likely to change between different releases of the

# plugins, so you should use the same config file provided with the

# plugin release rather than the one provided with Nagios.

cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/checkcommands.cfg

# Misc commands (notification and event handler commands, etc)

cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/misccommands.cfg

# You can split other types of object definitions across several

# config files if you wish (as done here), or keep them all in a

# single config file.

# RESOURCE FILE

# This is an optional resource file that contains $USERx$ macro

# definitions. Multiple resource files can be specified by using

# multiple resource_file definitions. The CGIs will not attempt to

# read the contents of resource files, so information that is

# considered to be sensitive (usernames, passwords, etc) can be

# defined as macros in this file and restrictive permissions (600)

# can be placed on this file.

resource_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/resource.cfg

# STATUS FILE

# This is where the current status of all monitored services and

# hosts is stored. Its contents are read and processed by the CGIs.

# The contentsof the status file are deleted every time Nagios

# restarts.

# NAGIOS GROUP

# This determines the effective group that Nagios should run as.

# You can either supply a group name or a GID.

nagios_group=nagios

# EXTERNAL COMMAND OPTION

# This option allows you to specify whether or not Nagios should check

# for external commands (in the command file defined below). By default

# Nagios will *not* check for external commands, just to be on the

# cautious side. If you want to be able to use the CGI command
interface

# you will have to enable this. Setting this value to 0 disables
command

# checking (the default), other values enable it.

check_external_commands=0

# EXTERNAL COMMAND CHECK INTERVAL

# This is the interval at which Nagios should check for external
commands.

# This value works of the interval_length you specify later. If you
leave

# that at its default value of 60 (seconds), a value of 1 here will
cause

# Nagios to check for external commands every minute. If you specify a

# number followed by an "s" (i.e. 15s), this will be interpreted to mean

# actual seconds rather than a multiple of the interval_length variable.

# Note: In addition to reading the external command file at regularly

# scheduled intervals, Nagios will also check for external commands
after

# event handlers are executed.

# NOTE: Setting this value to -1 causes Nagios to check the external

# command file as often as possible.

#command_check_interval=1

#command_check_interval=15s

command_check_interval=-1

# EXTERNAL COMMAND FILE

# This is the file that Nagios checks for external command requests.

# It is also where the command CGI will write commands that are
submitted

# by users, so it must be writeable by the user that the web server

# is running as (usually 'nobody'). Permissions should be set at the

# directory level instead of on the file, as the file is deleted every

# time its contents are processed.

# COMMENT FILE

# This is the file that Nagios will use for storing host and service

# comments.

# DOWNTIME FILE

# This is the file that Nagios will use for storing host and service

# downtime data.

# LOCK FILE

# This is the lockfile that Nagios will use to store its PID number

# in when it is running in daemon mode.

lock_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock

# TEMP FILE

# This is a temporary file that is used as scratch space when Nagios

# updates the status log, cleans the comment file, etc. This file

# is created, used, and deleted throughout the time that Nagios is

# running.

temp_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.tmp

# LOG ROTATION METHOD

# This is the log rotation method that Nagios should use to rotate

# the main log file. Values are as follows..

# n = None - don't rotate the log

# h = Hourly rotation (top of the hour)

# d = Daily rotation (midnight every day)

# w = Weekly rotation (midnight on Saturday evening)

# m = Monthly rotation (midnight last day of month)

# LOGGING OPTIONS

# If you want messages logged to the syslog facility, as well as the

# NetAlarm log file set this option to 1. If not, set it to 0.

# NOTIFICATION LOGGING OPTION

# If you don't want notifications to be logged, set this value to 0.

# If notifications should be logged, set the value to 1.

# SERVICE RETRY LOGGING OPTION

# If you don't want service check retries to be logged, set this value

# to 0. If retries should be logged, set the value to 1.

# HOST RETRY LOGGING OPTION

# If you don't want host check retries to be logged, set this value to

# 0. If retries should be logged, set the value to 1.

# EVENT HANDLER LOGGING OPTION

# If you don't want host and service event handlers to be logged, set

# this value to 0. If event handlers should be logged, set the value

# to 1.

log_event_handlers=1

# INITIAL STATES LOGGING OPTION

# If you want Nagios to log all initial host and service states to

# the main log file (the first time the service or host is checked)

# you can enable this option by setting this value to 1. If you

# are not using an external application that does long term state

# statistics reporting, you do not need to enable this option. In

# this case, set the value to 0.

log_initial_states=0

# EXTERNAL COMMANDS LOGGING OPTION

# If you don't want Nagios to log external commands, set this value

# to 0. If external commands should be logged, set this value to 1.

# Note: This option does not include logging of passive service

# checks - see the option below for controlling whether or not

# passive checks are logged.

log_external_commands=1

# PASSIVE SERVICE CHECKS LOGGING OPTION

# If you don't want Nagios to log passive service checks, set this

# value to 0. If passive service checks should be logged, set this

# value to 1.

log_passive_service_checks=1

# GLOBAL HOST AND SERVICE EVENT HANDLERS

# These options allow you to specify a host and service event handler

# command that is to be run for every host or service state change.

# The global event handler is executed immediately prior to the event

# handler that you have optionally specified in each host or

# service definition. The command argument is the short name of a

# command definition that you define in your host configuration file.

# Read the HTML docs for more information.

#global_host_event_handler=somecommand

#global_service_event_handler=somecommand

# INTER-CHECK DELAY METHOD

# This is the method that Nagios should use when initially

# "spreading out" service checks when it starts monitoring. The

# default is to use smart delay calculation, which will try to

# space all service checks out evenly to minimize CPU load.

# Using the dumb setting will cause all checks to be scheduled

# at the same time (with no delay between them)! This is not a

# good thing for production, but is useful when testing the

# parallelization functionality.

# n = None - don't use any delay between checks

# d = Use a "dumb" delay of 1 second between checks

# s = Use "smart" inter-check delay calculation

# x.xx = Use an inter-check delay of x.xx seconds

inter_check_delay_method=s

# SERVICE CHECK INTERLEAVE FACTOR

# This variable determines how service checks are interleaved.

# Interleaving the service checks allows for a more even

# distribution of service checks and reduced load on remote

# hosts. Setting this value to 1 is equivalent to how versions

# of Nagios previous to 0.0.5 did service checks. Set this

# value to s (smart) for automatic calculation of the interleave

# factor unless you have a specific reason to change it.

# s = Use "smart" interleave factor calculation

# x = Use an interleave factor of x, where x is a

# number greater than or equal to 1.

service_interleave_factor=s

# MAXIMUM CONCURRENT SERVICE CHECKS

# This option allows you to specify the maximum number of

# service checks that can be run in parallel at any given time.

# Specifying a value of 1 for this variable essentially prevents

# any service checks from being parallelized. A value of 0

# will not restrict the number of concurrent checks that are

# being executed.

max_concurrent_checks=0

# SERVICE CHECK REAPER FREQUENCY

# This is the frequency (in seconds!) that Nagios will process

# the results of services that have been checked.

service_reaper_frequency=10

# SLEEP TIME

# This is the number of seconds to sleep between checking for system

# events and service checks that need to be run. I would recommend

# *not* changing this from its default value of 1 second.

sleep_time=1

# TIMEOUT VALUES

# These options control how much time Nagios will allow various

# types of commands to execute before killing them off. Options

# are available for controlling maximum time allotted for

# service checks, host checks, event handlers, notifications, the

# ocsp command, and performance data commands. All values are in

# RETAIN STATE INFORMATION

# This setting determines whether or not Nagios will save state

# information for services and hosts before it shuts down. Upon

# startup Nagios will reload all saved service and host state

# information before starting to monitor. This is useful for

# maintaining long-term data on state statistics, etc, but will

# slow Nagios down a bit when it (re)starts. Since its only

# a one-time penalty, I think its well worth the additional

# startup delay.

retain_state_information=1

# STATE RETENTION FILE

# This is the file that Nagios should use to store host and

# service state information before it shuts down. The state

# information in this file is also read immediately prior to

# starting to monitor the network when Nagios is restarted.

# This file is used only if the preserve_state_information

# variable is set to 1.

state_retention_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/status.sav

# RETENTION DATA UPDATE INTERVAL

# This setting determines how often (in minutes) that Nagios

# will automatically save retention data during normal operation.

# If you set this value to 0, Nagios will not save retention

# data at regular interval, but it will still save retention

# data before shutting down or restarting. If you have disabled

# state retention, this option has no effect.

retention_update_interval=60

# USE RETAINED PROGRAM STATE

# This setting determines whether or not Nagios will set

# program status variables based on the values saved in the

# retention file. If you want to use retained program status

# information, set this value to 1. If not, set this value

# to 0.

use_retained_program_state=0

# INTERVAL LENGTH

# This is the seconds per unit interval as used in the

# host/contact/service configuration files. Setting this to 60 means

# that each interval is one minute long (60 seconds). Other settings

# have not been tested much, so your mileage is likely to vary...

interval_length=60

# AGRESSIVE HOST CHECKING OPTION

# If you don't want to turn on agressive host checking features, set

# this value to 0 (the default). Otherwise set this value to 1 to

# enable the agressive check option. Read the docs for more info

# on what agressive host check is or check out the source code in

# base/checks.c

use_agressive_host_checking=0

# SERVICE CHECK EXECUTION OPTION

# This determines whether or not Nagios will actively execute

# service checks when it initially starts. If this option is

# disabled, checks are not actively made, but Nagios can still

# receive and process passive check results that come in. Unless

# you're implementing redundant hosts or have a special need for

# disabling the execution of service checks, leave this enabled!

# Values: 1 = enable checks, 0 = disable checks

execute_service_checks=1

# PASSIVE CHECK ACCEPTANCE OPTION

# This determines whether or not Nagios will accept passive

# service checks results when it initially (re)starts.

# Values: 1 = accept passive checks, 0 = reject passive checks

accept_passive_service_checks=1

# NOTIFICATIONS OPTION

# This determines whether or not Nagios will sent out any host or

# service notifications when it is initially (re)started.

# Values: 1 = enable notifications, 0 = disable notifications

enable_notifications=1

# EVENT HANDLER USE OPTION

# This determines whether or not Nagios will run any host or

# service event handlers when it is initially (re)started. Unless

# you're implementing redundant hosts, leave this option enabled.

# Values: 1 = enable event handlers, 0 = disable event handlers

enable_event_handlers=1

# PROCESS PERFORMANCE DATA OPTION

# This determines whether or not Nagios will process performance

# data returned from service and host checks. If this option is

# enabled, host performance data will be processed using the

# host_perfdata_command (defined below) and service performance

# data will be processed using the service_perfdata_command (also

# defined below). Read the HTML docs for more information on

# performance data.

# Values: 1 = process performance data, 0 = do not process performance
data

process_performance_data=0

# HOST AND SERVICE PERFORMANCE DATA PROCESSING COMMANDS

# These commands are run after every host and service check is

# performed. These commands are executed only if the

# enable_performance_data option (above) is set to 1. The command

# argument is the short name of a command definition that you

# define in your host configuration file. Read the HTML docs for

# more information on performance data.

#host_perfdata_command=process-host-perfdata

#service_perfdata_command=process-service-perfdata

# OBSESS OVER SERVICE CHECKS OPTION

# This determines whether or not Nagios will obsess over service

# checks and run the ocsp_command defined below. Unless you're

# planning on implementing distributed monitoring, do not enable

# this option. Read the HTML docs for more information on

# implementing distributed monitoring.

# Values: 1 = obsess over services, 0 = do not obsess (default)

obsess_over_services=0

# OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE SERVICE PROCESSOR COMMAND

# This is the command that is run for every service check that is

# processed by Nagios. This command is executed only if the

# obsess_over_service option (above) is set to 1. The command

# argument is the short name of a command definition that you

# define in your host configuration file. Read the HTML docs for

# more information on implementing distributed monitoring.

#ocsp_command=somecommand

# ORPHANED SERVICE CHECK OPTION

# This determines whether or not Nagios will periodically

# check for orphaned services. Since service checks are not

# rescheduled until the results of their previous execution

# instance are processed, there exists a possibility that some

# checks may never get rescheduled. This seems to be a rare

# problem and should not happen under normal circumstances.

# If you have problems with service checks never getting

# rescheduled, you might want to try enabling this option.

# Values: 1 = enable checks, 0 = disable checks

check_for_orphaned_services=0

# SERVICE FRESHNESS CHECK OPTION

# This option determines whether or not Nagios will periodically

# check the "freshness" of service results. Enabling this option

# is useful for ensuring passive checks are received in a timely

# manner.

# Values: 1 = enabled freshness checking, 0 = disable freshness checking

check_service_freshness=1

# FRESHNESS CHECK INTERVAL

# This setting determines how often (in seconds) Nagios will

# check the "freshness" of service check results. If you have

# disabled service freshness checking, this option has no effect.

freshness_check_interval=60

# AGGREGATED STATUS UPDATES

# This option determines whether or not Nagios will

# aggregate updates of host, service, and program status

# data. Normally, status data is updated immediately when

# a change occurs. This can result in high CPU loads if

# you are monitoring a lot of services. If you want Nagios

# to only refresh status data every few seconds, disable

# this option.

# Values: 1 = enable aggregate updates, 0 = disable aggregate updates

aggregate_status_updates=1

# AGGREGATED STATUS UPDATE INTERVAL

# Combined with the aggregate_status_updates option,

# this option determines the frequency (in seconds!) that

# Nagios will periodically dump program, host, and

# service status data. If you are not using aggregated

# status data updates, this option has no effect.

status_update_interval=15

# FLAP DETECTION OPTION

# This option determines whether or not Nagios will try

# and detect hosts and services that are "flapping".

# Flapping occurs when a host or service changes between

# states too frequently. When Nagios detects that a

# host or service is flapping, it will temporarily supress

# notifications for that host/service until it stops

# flapping. Flap detection is very experimental, so read

# the HTML documentation before enabling this feature!

# Values: 1 = enable flap detection

# 0 = disable flap detection (default)

enable_flap_detection=0

# FLAP DETECTION THRESHOLDS FOR HOSTS AND SERVICES

# Read the HTML documentation on flap detection for

# an explanation of what this option does. This option

# RESOURCE.CFG - Sample Resource File for Nagios 1.0b6

# You can define $USERx$ macros in this file, which can in turn be used

# in command definitions in your host config file(s). $USERx$ macros
are

# useful for storing sensitive information such as usernames, passwords,

# etc. They are also handy for specifying the path to plugins and

# event handlers - if you decide to move the plugins or event handlers
to

# a different directory in the future, you can just update one or two

# $USERx$ macros, instead of modifying a lot of command definitions.

# The CGIs will not attempt to read the contents of resource files, so

# you can set restrictive permissions (600 or 660) on them.

# Nagios supports up to 32 $USERx$ macros ($USER1$ through $USER32$)

# EXTENDED HOST INFORMATION

# This is all entirely optional. If you don't enter any extended

# information, nothing bad will happen - I promise... Its basically

# just used to have pretty icons and such associated with your hosts.

# This is especially nice when you're using the statusmap and

# utility supplied with Boutell's gd library.

# <image_alt> = ALT tag used with PNG, GIF, and GD2 images

# in the status, statusmap, and extinfo CGIs

# <x_2d>,<y_2d> = X and Y coordinates used when drawing the

# host in the statusmap CGI. (0,0) is located

# in the upper left corner of the screen and is

# considered to be the origin. The coordinates

# you supply here are used as the coords of the

# upper left hand corner of host icon. Both

# numbers should be positive integers.

# <x_3d>,<y_3d>,<z_3d> = X, Y, and Z coordinates used when drawing

# the host in the statuswrl (VRML) CGI. All

# numbers can be positive or negative (anywhere

# in 3-D space). The coordinates are used to

# determine the center of the host "cube" that

# is drawn. Host "cubes" are drawn with a

# height, width, and depth of 0.5 (meters).

# Note: All images must be placed in the /logos subdirectory under

# the HTML images path (i.e. /usr/local/nagios/share/images/logos/).

# PING SYNTAX

# This option determines what syntax should be used when

# attempting to ping a host from the WAP interface (using

# the statuswml CGI. You must include the full path to

# the ping binary, along with all required options. The

# $HOSTADDRESS$ macro is substituted with the address of

# the host before the command is executed.

# REFRESH RATE

# This option allows you to specify the refresh rate in seconds

# of various CGIs (status, statusmap, extinfo, and outages).

refresh_rate=90

# SOUND OPTIONS

# These options allow you to specify an optional audio file

# that should be played in your browser window when there are

# problems on the network. The audio files are used only in

# the status CGI. Only the sound for the most critical problem

# will be played. Order of importance (higher to lower) is as

# follows: unreachable hosts, down hosts, critical services,

# warning services, and unknown services. If there are no

# visible problems, the sound file optionally specified by

# 'normal_sound' variable will be played.

# <varname>=<sound_file>

# Note: All audio files must be placed in the /media subdirectory

# under the HTML path (i.e. /usr/local/nagios/share/media/).
