################################################################# # # CGI.CFG - Sample CGI Configuration File for Nagios 3.3.1 # # Last Modified: 06-17-2009 # ################################################################# # MAIN CONFIGURATION FILE # This tells the CGIs where to find your main configuration file. # The CGIs will read the main and host config files for any other # data they might need. main_config_file=/opt/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg # PHYSICAL HTML PATH # This is the path where the HTML files for Nagios reside. This # value is used to locate the logo images needed by the statusmap # and statuswrl CGIs. physical_html_path=/opt/nagios/nagios # URL HTML PATH # This is the path portion of the URL that corresponds to the # physical location of the Nagios HTML files (as defined above). # This value is used by the CGIs to locate the online documentation # and graphics. If you access the Nagios pages with an URL like # http://www.myhost.com/nagios, this value should be '/nagios' # (without the quotes). url_html_path=/nagios # CONTEXT-SENSITIVE HELP # This option determines whether or not a context-sensitive # help icon will be displayed for most of the CGIs. # Values: 0 = disables context-sensitive help # 1 = enables context-sensitive help show_context_help=0 # PENDING STATES OPTION # This option determines what states should be displayed in the web # interface for hosts/services that have not yet been checked. # Values: 0 = leave hosts/services that have not been check yet in their original state # 1 = mark hosts/services that have not been checked yet as PENDING use_pending_states=1 # AUTHENTICATION USAGE # This option controls whether or not the CGIs will use any # authentication when displaying host and service information, as # well as committing commands to Nagios for processing. # # Read the HTML documentation to learn how the authorization works! # # NOTE: It is a really *bad* idea to disable authorization, unless # you plan on removing the command CGI (cmd.cgi)! Failure to do # so will leave you wide open to kiddies messing with Nagios and # possibly hitting you with a denial of service attack by filling up # your drive by continuously writing to your command file! # # Setting this value to 0 will cause the CGIs to *not* use # authentication (bad idea), while any other value will make them # use the authentication functions (the default). use_authentication=1 # x509 CERT AUTHENTICATION # When enabled, this option allows you to use x509 cert (SSL) # authentication in the CGIs. This is an advanced option and should # not be enabled unless you know what you're doing. use_ssl_authentication=0 # DEFAULT USER # Setting this variable will define a default user name that can # access pages without authentication. This allows people within a # secure domain (i.e., behind a firewall) to see the current status # without authenticating. You may want to use this to avoid basic # authentication if you are not using a secure server since basic # authentication transmits passwords in the clear. # # Important: Do not define a default username unless you are # running a secure web server and are sure that everyone who has # access to the CGIs has been authenticated in some manner! If you # define this variable, anyone who has not authenticated to the web # server will inherit all rights you assign to this user! default_user_name=guest # SYSTEM/PROCESS INFORMATION ACCESS # This option is a comma-delimited list of all usernames that # have access to viewing the Nagios process information as # provided by the Extended Information CGI (extinfo.cgi). By # default, *no one* has access to this unless you choose to # not use authorization. You may use an asterisk (*) to # authorize any user who has authenticated to the web server. authorized_for_system_information=* # CONFIGURATION INFORMATION ACCESS # This option is a comma-delimited list of all usernames that # can view ALL configuration information (hosts, commands, etc). # By default, users can only view configuration information # for the hosts and services they are contacts for. You may use # an asterisk (*) to authorize any user who has authenticated # to the web server. authorized_for_configuration_information=* # SYSTEM/PROCESS COMMAND ACCESS # This option is a comma-delimited list of all usernames that # can issue shutdown and restart commands to Nagios via the # command CGI (cmd.cgi). Users in this list can also change # the program mode to active or standby. By default, *no one* # has access to this unless you choose to not use authorization. # You may use an asterisk (*) to authorize any user who has # authenticated to the web server. authorized_for_system_commands=* # GLOBAL HOST/SERVICE VIEW ACCESS # These two options are comma-delimited lists of all usernames that # can view information for all hosts and services that are being # monitored. By default, users can only view information # for hosts or services that they are contacts for (unless you # you choose to not use authorization). You may use an asterisk (*) # to authorize any user who has authenticated to the web server. authorized_for_all_services=* authorized_for_all_hosts=* # GLOBAL HOST/SERVICE COMMAND ACCESS # These two options are comma-delimited lists of all usernames that # can issue host or service related commands via the command # CGI (cmd.cgi) for all hosts and services that are being monitored. # By default, users can only issue commands for hosts or services # that they are contacts for (unless you you choose to not use # authorization). You may use an asterisk (*) to authorize any # user who has authenticated to the web server. authorized_for_all_service_commands=* authorized_for_all_host_commands=* # READ-ONLY USERS # A comma-delimited list of usernames that have read-only rights in # the CGIs. This will block any service or host commands normally shown # on the extinfo CGI pages. It will also block comments from being shown # to read-only users. authorized_for_read_only=guest # STATUSMAP BACKGROUND IMAGE # This option allows you to specify an image to be used as a # background in the statusmap CGI. It is assumed that the image # resides in the HTML images path (i.e. /usr/local/nagios/share/images). # This path is automatically determined by appending "/images" # to the path specified by the 'physical_html_path' directive. # Note: The image file may be in GIF, PNG, JPEG, or GD2 format. # However, I recommend that you convert your image to GD2 format # (uncompressed), as this will cause less CPU load when the CGI # generates the image. #statusmap_background_image=smbackground.gd2 # STATUSMAP TRANSPARENCY INDEX COLOR # These options set the r,g,b values of the background color used the statusmap CGI, # so normal browsers that can't show real png transparency set the desired color as # a background color instead (to make it look pretty). # Defaults to white: (R,G,B) = (255,255,255). #color_transparency_index_r=255 #color_transparency_index_g=255 #color_transparency_index_b=255 # DEFAULT STATUSMAP LAYOUT METHOD # This option allows you to specify the default layout method # the statusmap CGI should use for drawing hosts. If you do # not use this option, the default is to use user-defined # coordinates. Valid options are as follows: # 0 = User-defined coordinates # 1 = Depth layers # 2 = Collapsed tree # 3 = Balanced tree # 4 = Circular # 5 = Circular (Marked Up) default_statusmap_layout=5 # DEFAULT STATUSWRL LAYOUT METHOD # This option allows you to specify the default layout method # the statuswrl (VRML) CGI should use for drawing hosts. If you # do not use this option, the default is to use user-defined # coordinates. Valid options are as follows: # 0 = User-defined coordinates # 2 = Collapsed tree # 3 = Balanced tree # 4 = Circular default_statuswrl_layout=4 # STATUSWRL INCLUDE # This option allows you to include your own objects in the # generated VRML world. It is assumed that the file # resides in the HTML path (i.e. /usr/local/nagios/share). #statuswrl_include=myworld.wrl # PING SYNTAX # This option determines what syntax should be used when # attempting to ping a host from the WAP interface (using # the statuswml CGI. You must include the full path to # the ping binary, along with all required options. The # $HOSTADDRESS$ macro is substituted with the address of # the host before the command is executed. # Please note that the syntax for the ping binary is # notorious for being different on virtually ever *NIX # OS and distribution, so you may have to tweak this to # work on your system. ping_syntax=/bin/ping -n -U -c 5 $HOSTADDRESS$ # REFRESH RATE # This option allows you to specify the refresh rate in seconds # of various CGIs (status, statusmap, extinfo, and outages). refresh_rate=90 # ESCAPE HTML TAGS # This option determines whether HTML tags in host and service # status output is escaped in the web interface. If enabled, # your plugin output will not be able to contain clickable links. escape_html_tags=1 # SOUND OPTIONS # These options allow you to specify an optional audio file # that should be played in your browser window when there are # problems on the network. The audio files are used only in # the status CGI. Only the sound for the most critical problem # will be played. Order of importance (higher to lower) is as # follows: unreachable hosts, down hosts, critical services, # warning services, and unknown services. If there are no # visible problems, the sound file optionally specified by # 'normal_sound' variable will be played. # # # = # # Note: All audio files must be placed in the /media subdirectory # under the HTML path (i.e. /usr/local/nagios/share/media/). #host_unreachable_sound=hostdown.wav #host_down_sound=hostdown.wav #service_critical_sound=critical.wav #service_warning_sound=warning.wav #service_unknown_sound=warning.wav #normal_sound=noproblem.wav # URL TARGET FRAMES # These options determine the target frames in which notes and # action URLs will open. action_url_target=_blank notes_url_target=_blank # LOCK AUTHOR NAMES OPTION # This option determines whether users can change the author name # when submitting comments, scheduling downtime. If disabled, the # author names will be locked into their contact name, as defined in Nagios. # Values: 0 = allow editing author names # 1 = lock author names (disallow editing) lock_author_names=1 # SPLUNK INTEGRATION OPTIONS # These options allow you to enable integration with Splunk # in the web interface. If enabled, you'll be presented with # "Splunk It" links in various places in the CGIs (log file, # alert history, host/service detail, etc). Useful if you're # trying to research why a particular problem occurred. # For more information on Splunk, visit http://www.splunk.com/ # This option determines whether the Splunk integration is enabled # Values: 0 = disable Splunk integration # 1 = enable Splunk integration #enable_splunk_integration=1 # This option should be the URL used to access your instance of Splunk #splunk_url=http://127.0.0.1:8000/
