I would like to install Nagios on a server without having access to root. I plan to install Apache without root in a local space to run the nagios web application. As far as the nagios plugins I plan to use NRPE and I do not need the two plugins require root to run so I am fine with that.So I have seen hints on how to install the plugins and apache without root but I have seen nothing on installing nagios itself. The odd thing is that the machines I will install on already have a nagios and nagioscmd users/groups so I a plan at this point to use them. According to the instructions it seems like all I need root for now is the 'make install'.So what does make install do that requires root and is there a way I can get around it

I am running Nagios on CentOS. Everything is working fine, all my clients status is ok. One thing which is confusing me is "Root Partition WARNING" on my own server which has Nagios installed. I think that these things are controlled by nrpe, which is installed in clients servers. what i want to know is how i manage my own server, in which config files i have to make changes?

I started my install of Nagios on Ubuntu 9.10 w.Network Manager. I later found out that network manager doesn or should I say it makes configuring static ip's difficult and that the most direct approach would be to edit the interfaces file. Part of this I read that network manager could be removed, which I did however now with network manager deleted from the system and the interfaces file configured for static. I am able to view the internet however I've seem to have loss the ablity to see my Nagios page locally.

have managed to lock myself out of my root account...I just installed openSUSE 11.4, and during the install, I set the root password to be different then my regular user password. Both passwords I've used for a while and know backwards and forwards so it's not a case of simply forgetting a new password.The thing is, I managed to mis-type the root password wrong 2x in a row. I have tried all my passwords numerous times, with and without caps lock, I've tried su -, sudo and logging in directly as root. All to no avail. It always returns authentication failure.I know this is a worst case senario and am expecting that the easiest way to fix is just to reinstall (Not a big issue since I just installed) but I figured I would ask if anyone had a good way to fix this
What is the best nagios web frontend available? I want one that allows to add hosts, remove them, configure them, etc. If possible, with a good documentation.
I installed Nagios following the Quick Install method from the Nagios.org web site but now I would like to add and monitor another host.I don�t find a way , I have for example replaced the ip number of the localhost(127.0.0.1 localhost.cfg) for another ip number and I am able to monitor another computer that way. But then I no longer MONITOR the localhost unless I replace the ip number in the localhost.cfg file. what I would like to do is to monitor both or more computers.

How can I install an RPM on a machine where I don't have root permissions? I want to install a package for my use only in a personal work directory. I'm running SuSe SLES10.

I have installed nagios 3.2.2. I want to check the cpu and disk temperature. I have installed check_lm_sensors y check_sensors. If I execute check_lm_sensors -v and then I ask for sda it works.
