[Nagios-users] dBs available for NDOUtils
The NDOUtils manual posted on the Nagios website is about two years old, so I have a question for this group. The manual states that MySQL is the only dB that is supported. Is this still true? I'm hoping that someone has ported this to Oracle.

If you're using check_by_ssh or NRPE with SSL, then no, the transport between the nagios server and the remote server would be encrypted.

Re: [Nagios-users] encrypting or protecting nagios config files
I'm new so forgive a dumb question... Is the resource.cfg on the monitored system or on the Nagios server? If it is on the Nagios server, will the information be sent in plain text to the monitored system?

Credentials can then be passed as variables to service definitions such as $PASSWORD1$ and it will pull the actual password string from the secured resource file. Peter.

I was wondering if there is any way to encrypt that or setup a system where those information relayed to nagios process in the memory and there is no way to access them? Please advise on this.

[Nagios-users] newbie question
List, I just finished installing Nagios 2.10 on my RedHat Linux system. I'm new at web stuff but after some digging was able to log into the application. I have not changed any of the default cfg files except for the contacts one listed in the quickstart directions and pointing the authentication to the correct password file. It looks like I should be monitoring my localhost, but I do not see hosts or services displayed in the viewer. Do they only show up when they are bad? On most screens I get the message similar to this one: "It appears as though you do not have permissions to view information for any of the hosts you requested... If you believe this is an error, check the HTTP server authentication requirements for access this CGI and check the authorization options in your CGI configuration file" Is this because the files it is looking for do not exist yet? Do I have a permissions problem? Any help you can provide will be appreciated!
