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

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

48
49# PRE-CACHED OBJECT FILE
50# This options determines the location of the precached object file.
51# If you run Nagios with the -p command line option, it will preprocess
52# your object configuration file(s) and write the cached config to this
53# file.  You can then start Nagios with the -u option to have it read
54# object definitions from this precached file, rather than the standard
55# object configuration files (see the cfg_file and cfg_dir options above).
56# Using a precached object file can speed up the time needed to (re)start
57# the Nagios process if you've got a large and/or complex configuration.
58# Read the documentation section on optimizing Nagios to find our more
59# about how this feature works.

66# This is an optional resource file that contains $USERx$ macro
67# definitions. Multiple resource files can be specified by using
68# multiple resource_file definitions.  The CGIs will not attempt to
69# read the contents of resource files, so information that is
70# considered to be sensitive (usernames, passwords, etc) can be

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

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

204# This directive is used to specify an event broker module that should

207# the module at startup are seperated from the module path by a space.

210# WARNING !!! WARNING !!! WARNING !!! WARNING !!! WARNING !!! WARNING
211#!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
212#
213# Do NOT overwrite modules while they are being used by Nagios or Nagios
214# will crash in a fiery display of SEGFAULT glory.  This is a bug/limitation
215# either in dlopen(), the kernel, and/or the filesystem.  And maybe Nagios...
216#
217# The correct/safe way of updating a module is by using one of these methods:
218#    1. Shutdown Nagios, replace the module file, restart Nagios
219#    2. Delete the original module file, move the new module file into place, restart Nagios

223#   broker_module=<modulepath> [moduleargs]

1186# ENABLE ENVIRONMENT MACROS
1187# This option determines whether or not Nagios will make all standard
1188# macros available as environment variables when host/service checks
1189# and system commands (event handlers, notifications, etc.) are
1190# executed.  Enabling this option can cause performance issues in
1191# large installations, as it will consume a bit more memory and (more

1212# CHILD PROCESS FORKING BEHAVIOR
1213# This option determines how Nagios will fork child processes
1214# (used to execute system commands and host/service checks).  Normally
1215# child processes are fork()ed twice, which provides a very high level
1216# of isolation from problems.  Fork()ing once is probably enough and will
1217# save a great deal on CPU usage (in large installs), so you might
1218# want to consider using this.  If you specify a value here, it will
1219# program defaults.
