Comment 1 Jan ONDREJ 2013-02-03 13:53:31 UTC
Good idea, but it will be better to add:

cfg_dir=/etc/nagios/config.d

into nagios.conf and then I can add these commands directly to pnp4nagios package. Then no need to configure anything in nagios.conf.

Boys, what do you think?

Comment 2 Florian La Roche 2013-02-03 14:16:42 UTC
This would be even better, but then these items should be
removed from the default nagios.cfg, so there is no confusion
on where they get set.

best regards,

Florian La Roche

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 14:54:36 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Comment 4 Jose Pedro Oliveira 2013-04-20 22:50:31 UTC
Just started looking into this again:

Current status:

 * nagios has been adding an unowned /etc/nagios/conf.d directory for quite
   a few years. Relevant changelog entries:

   ...
   * Tue Jul 10 2008 Robert M. Albrecht <romal> 3.0.3-6
   - disabled conf.d in nagios.conf for now
   ...
   * Tue Jul 01 2008 Robert M. Albrecht <romal> 3.0.3-3
   - Added Apache style conf.d
   - Added a working example config named internet.cfg
   - The object folder was created twice
   ...


 * $ rpm -qpl nagios-3.2.3-10.fc15.i686.rpm | grep /etc/nagios/conf.d
   /etc/nagios/conf.d/internet.cfg

 * $ rpm -qf /etc/nagios/conf.d
   file /etc/nagios/conf.d is not owned by any package

   $ rpm -qf /etc/nagios/conf.d/internet.cfg 
   nagios-3.4.4-1.el6.x86_64

Comment 5 Jose Pedro Oliveira 2013-04-20 23:21:18 UTC
I'm planning to reinstat the /etc/nagios/conf.d configuration directory in the next nagios build (most likely nagios-3.5.0-3). 

Plan:
 * make the nagios package own the /etc/nagios/conf.d directory
 * add cfg_dir=/etc/nagios/conf.d to the main nagios configuration file
 * ship the internet.cfg file as documentation (instead of placing it
   in /etc/nagios/conf.d)

Does anyone has reservations about the above plan?

tia,
jpo

Thanks. I think I can use this feature in pnp4nagios only in fedora 19 and higher.

Comment 7 Florian La Roche 2013-04-22 13:07:41 UTC
Sounds good. Looking forward to newer nagios rpms.

best regards,

Florian La Roche

Comment 11 Andrea Veri 2013-04-26 08:32:27 UTC
I assume this report is true for F18-F19, while EL5-EL6 do still ships Nagios configurations files on /etc/nagios/objects. Is there a plan to update the path on EPEL too? otherwise I can just add a switch between the two.

Comment 12 Jose Pedro Oliveira 2013-04-26 09:29:51 UTC

I reinstated support for the /etc/nagios/conf.d directory (see comment 5) in Fedora >= 18 and EPEL >= 6 (basically this change will only be available in the nagios 3.5.0 RPMS).  I've no plans in backporting it to EPEL5 (nagios 2.12 is to old).

PS - You can track the EPEL6 RPMS (and give it karma points) here:
