| Running nagios-4.0.8p3 on OpenBSD
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Getting Started
===============

The main documentation for Nagios is provided online at
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nagioscore/4/en/.

The included sample configuration carries out some simple checks
on the local machine; these should work as-is.

You may check your configuration file format before starting Nagios:

   # su -m _nagios -c "/usr/local/sbin/nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg"

This will parse all configuration files and warn about any problems
which have been identified.

To enable automatic startup on boot for nagios, add it to the pkg_scripts
line in /etc/rc.conf.local.

To start nagios, reboot or start it manually:

   # rcctl start nagios


Web User-Interface
==================

If using Apache, you can enable nagios-web by linking the provided
httpd.conf snippet:

      # ln -s /var/www/conf/modules.sample/nagios.conf \
         /var/www/conf/modules

You may wish to modify this file.  By default it uses HTTP basic
authentication; you can create the password file as follows:

      # touch /etc/nagios/htpasswd.users
      # htpasswd /etc/nagios/htpasswd.users <username>

When done, restart the web server:

      # /etc/rc.d/apache2 restart

You should then be able to access the web interface at
http://localhost/nagios/
