Simple Newbie Question on Setting Nagios Up with NRPE

[cnfuzzd]

Hello Everyone

I am setting up Nagios on Ubuntu. I am using nsclient++ on the host. I need to configure the hosts and the services. From the documentation of nsclient, i need to do this:

define host{
use tpl-windows-servers ; Inherit default values from a template
host_name windowshost ; The name we’re giving to this server
alias My First Windows Server ; A longer name for the server
address 10.0.0.2 ; IP address of the server
}

Where do I do this? I am very new to linux, and obviously befuddled. Is this the same file that I would modify to add in the unique services?

Thanks!

John

this goes into a “.cfg” file ie. yourremotehost.cfg and file must be located within nagios server side;
prolly inside /opt/nagios/etc/objects or /opt/nagios/nagios-main/etc/objects
at least thats where i store .cfg files.
