Question

Getting Nagios setup for the first time.

Linux BasicsCentOSMonitoring

Hello,

I am pretty new to Linux and I am trying to build a Nagios Monitoring System using CentOS7 Minimal version.

I follow this instruction on building my Nagios (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-nagios-4-and-monitor-your-servers-on-centos-7)

However, I cannot seem to start my nagios webpage. Below are some of the command that might help.

service httpd status

Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status httpd.service
● httpd.service - The Apache HTTP Server
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/httpd.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
Docs: man:httpd(8)

man:apachectl(8)

service nagios status

nagios (pid 3968) is running…

sudo apachectl configtest

AH00558: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server’s fully qualified domain name, using fe80::215:5dff:fe47:a10. Set the ‘ServerName’ directive globally to suppress this message

Syntax OK

Would really appreciate any help.

Hello,

Can you try the following:

  • First try starting your httpd service and then check the status again (the hostname warning that you are getting is not a problem)
  • If httpd fails to start, check your httpd error logs for the exact error that you get
  • Also use the netstat -plant command to check your ports, maybe there’s another service already listening on port 80 and that’s why apache is failing to start

If you wish you could provide me with your httpd error logs and the output of the netstat command so that I could advice further.

Regards,
Bobby

    Hi Bobby,

    Here is the status of my httpd service:

    code
# service httpd status

Jul 09 08:09:10 nz-nagios.agility.local systemd[1]: Started The Apache HTTP Server.

    I did actually try to fix the hostname issue thinking that is the culprit. I created a hostname for my Nagios.

    I assume my httpd are now starting properly?

    Here is the result of netstat:

    code

# netstat -plant

    Anything I need to check?

    When I try to access my nagios using http://<IP ADDRESS>/nagios I still get Not Found The requested URL /nagios was not found on this server.

Just an update, after I run all these command again (https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagioscore/docs/Nagios-Core-Installing-On-Centos7.pdf#_ga=2.175257890.1451548335.1562281975-513490159.1562281975) it started my nagios. I just don’t know how messy this is now :)

Will just need to learn how to user Nagios. Thanks.
