# NAGIOS.CFG - Sample Main Config File for Nagios
#
#
##############################################################################
# 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=/var/log/nagios3/nagios.log
# OBJECT CONFIGURATION FILE(S)
# These are the object configuration files in which you define hosts,
# host groups, contacts, contact groups, services, etc.
# You can split your object definitions across several config files
# if you wish (as shown below), or keep them all in a single config file.
cfg_file=/etc/nagios3/commands.cfg
# Puppet-managed configuration files
cfg_dir=/etc/nagios3/conf.d
# Debian also defaults to using the check commands defined by the debian
# nagios-plugins package
cfg_dir=/etc/nagios-plugins/config
# OBJECT CACHE FILE
# This option determines where object definitions are cached when
# Nagios starts/restarts. The CGIs read object definitions from
# this cache file (rather than looking at the object config files
# directly) in order to prevent inconsistencies that can occur
# when the config files are modified after Nagios starts.
object_cache_file=/var/cache/nagios3/objects.cache
# PRE-CACHED OBJECT FILE
# This options determines the location of the precached object file.
# If you run Nagios with the -p command line option, it will preprocess
# your object configuration file(s) and write the cached config to this
# file. You can then start Nagios with the -u option to have it read
# object definitions from this precached file, rather than the standard
# object configuration files (see the cfg_file and cfg_dir options above).
# Using a precached object file can speed up the time needed to (re)start
# the Nagios process if you've got a large and/or complex configuration.
# Read the documentation section on optimizing Nagios to find our more
# about how this feature works.

# 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.

# 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

# HOST FRESHNESS CHECK OPTION
# This option determines whether or not Nagios will periodically
# check the "freshness" of host 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_host_freshness=0
# HOST FRESHNESS CHECK INTERVAL
# This setting determines how often (in seconds) Nagios will
# check the "freshness" of host check results. If you have
# disabled host freshness checking, this option has no effect.
host_freshness_check_interval=60
# ADDITIONAL FRESHNESS THRESHOLD LATENCY
# This setting determines the number of seconds that Nagios
# will add to any host and service freshness thresholds that
# it calculates (those not explicitly specified by the user).
additional_freshness_latency=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 suppress
# 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=1
# FLAP DETECTION THRESHOLDS FOR HOSTS AND SERVICES
# Read the HTML documentation on flap detection for
# an explanation of what this option does. This option
# has no effect if flap detection is disabled.
low_service_flap_threshold=5.0
high_service_flap_threshold=20.0
low_host_flap_threshold=5.0
high_host_flap_threshold=20.0
# DATE FORMAT OPTION
# This option determines how short dates are displayed. Valid options
# include:
# us (MM-DD-YYYY HH:MM:SS)
# euro (DD-MM-YYYY HH:MM:SS)
# iso8601 (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS)
# strict-iso8601 (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS)
#
date_format=iso8601
# TIMEZONE OFFSET
# This option is used to override the default timezone that this
# instance of Nagios runs in. If not specified, Nagios will use
# the system configured timezone.
#
# NOTE: In order to display the correct timezone in the CGIs, you
# will also need to alter the Apache directives for the CGI path
# to include your timezone. Example:
#
# <Directory "/usr/local/nagios/sbin/">
# SetEnv TZ "Australia/Brisbane"
# ...
# </Directory>
#use_timezone=US/Mountain
#use_timezone=Australia/Brisbane
# P1.PL FILE LOCATION
# This value determines where the p1.pl perl script (used by the
# embedded Perl interpreter) is located. If you didn't compile
# Nagios with embedded Perl support, this option has no effect.
p1_file=/usr/lib/nagios3/p1.pl
# EMBEDDED PERL INTERPRETER OPTION
# This option determines whether or not the embedded Perl interpreter
# will be enabled during runtime. This option has no effect if Nagios
# has not been compiled with support for embedded Perl.
# Values: 0 = disable interpreter, 1 = enable interpreter
enable_embedded_perl=1
# EMBEDDED PERL USAGE OPTION
# This option determines whether or not Nagios will process Perl plugins
# and scripts with the embedded Perl interpreter if the plugins/scripts
# do not explicitly indicate whether or not it is okay to do so. Read
# the HTML documentation on the embedded Perl interpreter for more
# information on how this option works.
use_embedded_perl_implicitly=1
# ILLEGAL OBJECT NAME CHARACTERS
# This option allows you to specify illegal characters that cannot
# be used in host names, service descriptions, or names of other
# object types.
illegal_object_name_chars=`~!$%^&*|'"<>?,()=
# ILLEGAL MACRO OUTPUT CHARACTERS
# This option allows you to specify illegal characters that are
# stripped from macros before being used in notifications, event
# handlers, etc. This DOES NOT affect macros used in service or
# host check commands.
# The following macros are stripped of the characters you specify:
# $HOSTOUTPUT$
# $HOSTPERFDATA$
# $HOSTACKAUTHOR$
# $HOSTACKCOMMENT$
# $SERVICEOUTPUT$
# $SERVICEPERFDATA$
# $SERVICEACKAUTHOR$
# $SERVICEACKCOMMENT$
illegal_macro_output_chars=`~$&|'"<>
# REGULAR EXPRESSION MATCHING
# This option controls whether or not regular expression matching
# takes place in the object config files. Regular expression
# matching is used to match host, hostgroup, service, and service
# group names/descriptions in some fields of various object types.
# Values: 1 = enable regexp matching, 0 = disable regexp matching
use_regexp_matching=0
# "TRUE" REGULAR EXPRESSION MATCHING
# This option controls whether or not "true" regular expression
# matching takes place in the object config files. This option
# only has an effect if regular expression matching is enabled
# (see above). If this option is DISABLED, regular expression
# matching only occurs if a string contains wildcard characters
# (* and ?). If the option is ENABLED, regexp matching occurs
# all the time (which can be annoying).
# Values: 1 = enable true matching, 0 = disable true matching
use_true_regexp_matching=0
# ADMINISTRATOR EMAIL/PAGER ADDRESSES
# The email and pager address of a global administrator (likely you).
# Nagios never uses these values itself, but you can access them by
# using the $ADMINEMAIL$ and $ADMINPAGER$ macros in your notification
# commands.
admin_email=root@localhost
admin_pager=pageroot@localhost
# DAEMON CORE DUMP OPTION
# This option determines whether or not Nagios is allowed to create
# a core dump when it runs as a daemon. Note that it is generally
# considered bad form to allow this, but it may be useful for
# debugging purposes. Enabling this option doesn't guarantee that
# a core file will be produced, but that's just life...
# Values: 1 - Allow core dumps
# 0 - Do not allow core dumps (default)
daemon_dumps_core=0
# LARGE INSTALLATION TWEAKS OPTION
# This option determines whether or not Nagios will take some shortcuts
# which can save on memory and CPU usage in large Nagios installations.
# Read the documentation for more information on the benefits/tradeoffs
# of enabling this option.
# Values: 1 - Enabled tweaks
# 0 - Disable tweaks (default)
use_large_installation_tweaks=0
# ENABLE ENVIRONMENT MACROS
# This option determines whether or not Nagios will make all standard
# macros available as environment variables when host/service checks
# and system commands (event handlers, notifications, etc.) are
# executed. Enabling this option can cause performance issues in
# large installations, as it will consume a bit more memory and (more
# importantly) consume more CPU.
# Values: 1 - Enable environment variable macros (default)
# 0 - Disable environment variable macros
enable_environment_macros=1
# CHILD PROCESS MEMORY OPTION
# This option determines whether or not Nagios will free memory in
# child processes (processed used to execute system commands and host/
# service checks). If you specify a value here, it will override
# program defaults.
# Value: 1 - Free memory in child processes
# 0 - Do not free memory in child processes
#free_child_process_memory=1
# CHILD PROCESS FORKING BEHAVIOR
# This option determines how Nagios will fork child processes
# (used to execute system commands and host/service checks). Normally
# child processes are fork()ed twice, which provides a very high level
# of isolation from problems. Fork()ing once is probably enough and will
# save a great deal on CPU usage (in large installs), so you might
# want to consider using this. If you specify a value here, it will
# program defaults.
# Value: 1 - Child processes fork() twice
# 0 - Child processes fork() just once
#child_processes_fork_twice=1
# DEBUG LEVEL
# This option determines how much (if any) debugging information will
# be written to the debug file. OR values together to log multiple
# types of information.
# Values:
# -1 = Everything
# 0 = Nothing
# 1 = Functions
# 2 = Configuration
# 4 = Process information
# 8 = Scheduled events
# 16 = Host/service checks
# 32 = Notifications
# 64 = Event broker
# 128 = External commands
# 256 = Commands
# 512 = Scheduled downtime
# 1024 = Comments
# 2048 = Macros
debug_level=0
# DEBUG VERBOSITY
# This option determines how verbose the debug log out will be.
# Values: 0 = Brief output
# 1 = More detailed
# 2 = Very detailed
debug_verbosity=1
# DEBUG FILE
# This option determines where Nagios should write debugging information.
debug_file=/var/lib/nagios3/nagios.debug
# MAX DEBUG FILE SIZE
# This option determines the maximum size (in bytes) of the debug file. If
# the file grows larger than this size, it will be renamed with a .old
# extension. If a file already exists with a .old extension it will
# automatically be deleted. This helps ensure your disk space usage doesn't
# get out of control when debugging Nagios.
max_debug_file_size=1000000
