\"How<\/p>\n

In this tutorial we will show you how to install Nagios on CentOS 7.\u00a0 Nagios is a powerful open source enterprise-class software that monitors network infrastructures, servers and applications. It can be used to monitor Linux and Windows servers as well as web applications, Linux and Unix applications and Windows applications. Some of the features include: parallelized service checks, plugin system, notifications via email, pager or user defined service, web interface for viewing status, log files, problem history and notifications and much more. This guide should work on other Linux VPS<\/a> systems as well but was tested and written for CentOS 7 VPS<\/a>.
\n<\/p>\n

Update your CentOS 7 server and install the necessary packages<\/h3>\n

Log in to your VPS via SSH as a sudo user:<\/p>\n

ssh userame@IP_Address<\/pre>\n
Once you are logged in, issue the following commands to make sure all installed packages are up to date:<\/p>\n
sudo yum update<\/pre>\n
Next, install the install the pre-requisite packages necessary for building Nagios with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo yum install gcc glibc glibc-common wget unzip httpd php gd gd-devel perl postfix<\/pre>\n
Install Apache, MariaDB and PHP 7<\/h3>\n
To install Nginx, MariaDB PHP 7 and all the necessary PHP modules on your CentOS server run the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo yum install httpd mariadb-server php php-mysql<\/pre>\n
When the MariaDB installation is complete, run the following command to secure your MariaDB installation:<\/p>\n
sudo mysql_secure_installation<\/pre>\n
Enable MariaDB and Apache to start on boot with:<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl enable httpd.service\r\nsudo systemctl enable mariadb.service<\/pre>\n
Download and Install Nagios<\/h3>\n
Download the latest stable version of the Nagios tar archive in the \/tmp<\/code> directory on your server with:<\/p>\n
wget https:\/\/github.com\/NagiosEnterprises\/nagioscore\/archive\/nagios-4.4.1.tar.gz -O \/tmp\/nagioscore.tar.gz<\/pre>\n
When the download is completed change to the tmp directory extract the archive with the following commands:<\/p>\n
cd \/tmp\r\nsudo tar xf nagioscore.tar.gz<\/pre>\n
Once the Nagios Plugins archive is extracted, change to the nagioscore-nagios-4.4.1<\/code> directory:<\/p>\n
cd \/tmp\/nagioscore-nagios-4.4.1<\/pre>\n
Next step is to run the .\/configure<\/code> script which will check your system for missing libraries and binaries and prepare the Nagios source code for the build process:<\/p>\n
.\/configure<\/pre>\n
Now that the configuration is completed start the compilation process using the make all <\/code> command:<\/p>\n
make all<\/pre>\n
Run the following command to create the nagios user and group and add apache to the nagios group:<\/p>\n
sudo make install-groups-users\r\nsudo usermod -a -G nagios apache\r\n<\/pre>\n
The next step is to install Nagios using the  make install<\/code> command:<\/p>\n
sudo make install<\/pre>\n
Run the following command to install the Nagios sample configuration files:<\/p>\n
sudo make install-config<\/pre>\n
Install the initialization script so that you can manage your Nagios service using the systemctl command :<\/p>\n
sudo make install-daemoninit<\/pre>\n
Next, install the Apache web server configuration files with:<\/p>\n
sudo make install-webconf<\/pre>\n
Restart apache service:<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl restart httpd<\/pre>\n
Use the htpasswd<\/code> command to create a user account called nagiosadmin<\/code><\/p>\n
sudo htpasswd -c \/usr\/local\/nagios\/etc\/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin<\/pre>\n
Run the following command to install and configure the external command file:<\/p>\n
sudo make install-commandmode<\/pre>\n
Install Nagios Plugins<\/h2>\n
Before downloading and compiling Nagios plugins install the following dependencies:<\/p>\n
sudo yum install gcc glibc glibc-common make gettext automake autoconf wget openssl-devel net-snmp net-snmp-utils epel-release perl-Net-SNMP\r\n<\/pre>\n
Download the latest stable version of the Nagios tar archive in the \/tmp<\/code> directory on your server with:<\/p>\n
wget --no-check-certificate -O \/tmp\/nagios-plugins.tar.gz https:\/\/github.com\/nagios-plugins\/nagios-plugins\/archive\/release-2.2.1.tar.gz\r\n<\/pre>\n
When the download is completed change to the tmp directory extract the archive with the following commands:<\/p>\n
cd \/tmp\r\nsudo tar xf nagios-plugins.tar.gz<\/pre>\n
Once the Nagios Plugins archive is extracted, change to the nagioscore-nagios-4.4.1<\/code> directory:<\/p>\n
cd \/tmp\/nagios-plugins-release-2.2.1\/<\/pre>\n
The following commands will check your system for missing libraries and binaries and prepare the Nagios Plugins source code for the build process:<\/p>\n
.\/tools\/setup\r\n.\/configure\r\n<\/pre>\n
Once the configuration is completed start the compilation process using the make<\/code> command:<\/p>\n
make<\/pre>\n
Finally install the Nagios Plugins using the  make install<\/code> command:<\/p>\n
sudo make install<\/pre>\n
Access Nagios<\/h2>\n
Now that you have both Nagios and Nagios Plugins installed on your CentOS system, start the Nagios service with the following command:<\/p>\n
systemctl start nagios<\/pre>\n
Open your browser and navigate to http:\/\/your-domain-or-ip\/nagios<\/code> and you will be presented with the login pop-up.<\/p>\n
Enter the login credentials that you created earlier with the htpasswd<\/code> command and you will be redirected to the Nagios home page as shown on the image below:<\/p>\n
