20# OBJECT CONFIGURATION FILE(S)
21# These are the object configuration files in which you define hosts,
22# host groups, contacts, contact groups, services, etc.
23# You can split your object definitions across several config files
24# if you wish (as shown below), or keep them all in a single config file.
25
26# You can specify individual object config files as shown below:
27cfg_file=/etc/nagios3/checkcommands.cfg

41# OBJECT CACHE FILE
42# This option determines where object definitions are cached when
43# Nagios starts/restarts.  The CGIs read object definitions from
44# this cache file (rather than looking at the object config files
45# directly) in order to prevent inconsistencies that can occur
46# when the config files are modified after Nagios starts.

51
52# PRE-CACHED OBJECT FILE
53# This options determines the location of the precached object file.
54# If you run Nagios with the -p command line option, it will preprocess
55# your object configuration file(s) and write the cached config to this
56# file.  You can then start Nagios with the -u option to have it read
57# object definitions from this precached file, rather than the standard
58# object configuration files (see the cfg_file and cfg_dir options above).
59# Using a precached object file can speed up the time needed to (re)start
60# the Nagios process if you've got a large and/or complex configuration.
61# Read the documentation section on optimizing Nagios to find our more
62# about how this feature works.

70# definitions. Multiple resource files can be specified by using
71# multiple resource_file definitions.  The CGIs will not attempt to
72# read the contents of resource files, so information that is
73# considered to be sensitive (usernames, passwords, etc) can be

131# that at its default value of 60 (seconds), a value of 1 here will cause
132# Nagios to check for external commands every minute.  If you specify a
133# number followed by an "s" (i.e. 15s), this will be interpreted to mean
134# actual seconds rather than a multiple of the interval_length variable.
135# Note: In addition to reading the external command file at regularly
136# scheduled intervals, Nagios will also check for external commands after
137# event handlers are executed.

213# WARNING !!! WARNING !!! WARNING !!! WARNING !!! WARNING !!! WARNING
214#!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
215#
216# Do NOT overwrite modules while they are being used by Nagios or Nagios
217# will crash in a fiery display of SEGFAULT glory.  This is a bug/limitation
218# either in dlopen(), the kernel, and/or the filesystem.  And maybe Nagios...
219#
220# The correct/safe way of updating a module is by using one of these methods:
221#    1. Shutdown Nagios, replace the module file, restart Nagios
222#    2. Delete the original module file, move the new module file into place, restart Nagios

1177# LARGE INSTALLATION TWEAKS OPTION
1178# This option determines whether or not Nagios will take some shortcuts
1179# which can save on memory and CPU usage in large Nagios installations.
1180# Read the documentation for more information on the benefits/tradeoffs
1181# of enabling this option.
1182# Values: 1 - Enabled tweaks
1183#         0 - Disable tweaks (default)

1189# ENABLE ENVIRONMENT MACROS
1190# This option determines whether or not Nagios will make all standard
1191# macros available as environment variables when host/service checks
1192# and system commands (event handlers, notifications, etc.) are
1193# executed.  Enabling this option can cause performance issues in
1194# large installations, as it will consume a bit more memory and (more
1195# importantly) consume more CPU.

1203# CHILD PROCESS MEMORY OPTION
1204# This option determines whether or not Nagios will free memory in
1205# child processes (processed used to execute system commands and host/
1206# service checks).  If you specify a value here, it will override
1207# program defaults.
1208# Value: 1 - Free memory in child processes

1215# CHILD PROCESS FORKING BEHAVIOR
1216# This option determines how Nagios will fork child processes
1217# (used to execute system commands and host/service checks).  Normally
1218# child processes are fork()ed twice, which provides a very high level
1219# of isolation from problems.  Fork()ing once is probably enough and will
1220# save a great deal on CPU usage (in large installs), so you might
1221# want to consider using this.  If you specify a value here, it will
1222# program defaults.
1223# Value: 1 - Child processes fork() twice
1224#        0 - Child processes fork() just once

1230# DEBUG LEVEL
1231# This option determines how much (if any) debugging information will
1232# be written to the debug file.  OR values together to log multiple
1233# types of information.
1234# Values:
1235#          -1 = Everything
1236#          0 = Nothing
1237#          1 = Functions
1238#          2 = Configuration

1271# MAX DEBUG FILE SIZE
1272# This option determines the maximum size (in bytes) of the debug file.  If
1273# the file grows larger than this size, it will be renamed with a .old
1274# extension.  If a file already exists with a .old extension it will
1275# automatically be deleted.  This helps ensure your disk space usage doesn't
1276# get out of control when debugging Nagios.
