Re: [Nagios-users] Windows.cfg missing

Once you've installed Nagios, locate the directory that contains the main Nagios configuration file (nagios.cfg).  In that same directory should be a sub-directory named objects.  That's where you'll find (and create) the other config files for Nagios.  For example, the list of Nagios contacts (contacts.cfg).
 
  You can also use 'find' to search for the cfg files on your Nagios server.

Have you installed from source or package ?

if the package , try looking for the file in the /etc/nagios3/ directory

If you used source , have you done the make install-configs ( or is may be make install-samples ) ?

Subject: [Nagios-users] Windows.cfg missing

Hi Folks,

as I am still a newbie with nagios but willing to learn, I hope you
wont mind if my upcoming question might sound silly to you.

I read that to monitor windows servers that I should find a
windows.cfg file in ~/objects/

Well I dont have neither a directory called objects nor such a file.
In /usr/share/doc/nagios3-common/examples/template-object/ I found a
windows.cfg file.

So, is it okay for nagios to simply create a directory ~/objects/ and
copy the windows.cfg file in there? Or what do I have to do?

As said before, I am new to nagios and I am running a debian wheetzy
with nagios 3.2.3

Thanks for your time and help
Niels
