Hello Froilan, Don't fret, you dont need to be a programmer to implement a basic nagios.
I implemented nagios in the company I am currently working for. Part of the activity was transfering the knowledge to the sysOPs who were going to maintain the system. At first it was quite hard but not really difficult for them to pickup but as soon as they tried to do the setup themselves, they've found it was relatively easy. They are now able to monitor around 100+ servers with 900+ services which they have setup on their own. Basically I just pushed them in the right direction. From there they were on their own and learned where to look for answers (like nagiosexchange). The things you need to configure to get a basic nagios up and running are: 1. nagios.cfg 2. contacts 3. contactgroups 4. hosts 5. hostsgroups 6. services 7. checkcommands Some things to note: - there are templates in hosts and services files you can just copy, paste and edit - when you add a host, you need to also have a service for that host - a contact needs to belong to a contactgroup, and a contactgroup also needs to have contact members - you can define the configuration files to use in nagios.cfg. We separated each hosts/services into separate files so that it would be easier to manage. - if nagios fails to start, you can check your configs by running nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg to point you in the right direction HTH!
