{{Note box|The Current version of nagios is 3.2 in smecontribs, there is no plan yet to update this contrib. If you have the skill and the need you should work to update this work to the newer release.}}
==== Installation of a central Nagios server ====
All needed packages are in smecontribs
==== Configure the dag repositoy ====
yum install --enablerepo=smecontribs smeserver-nagios nagios
then to configure :
/bin/cp -ba /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg-smeserver /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg
/bin/cp -ba /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg-smeserver /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg
/bin/cp -ba /etc/nagios/cgi.cfg-smeserver /etc/nagios/cgi.cfg
/bin/cp -ba /etc/nagios/cgi.cfg-smeserver /etc/nagios/cgi.cfg
then (optional) :
cd /tmp
wget http://repo.openfusion.net/centos5-i386/nagios-of-plugins-0.13.8-1.of.el5.noarch.rpm
yum localinstall nagios-of-plugins-0.13.8-1.of.el5.noarch.rpm
then:
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
alternatively if necessary you can install [[Nagios_NRPE|NRPE]] or [[Nagios_NSCA|NSCA]] addons not yet in smecontribs see [[bugzilla:7644]] or [[bugzilla:7645]]
yum install --enablerepo=smecontribs smeserver-nagios-nrpe
or
yum install --enablerepo=smecontribs smeserver-nagios-nsca
then
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
==== Configure the dag repositoy ====
You need to activate the [[Dag]] reposity before installing this contrib.<br />
see [[dag|dag repository]] <br />

* It is a good idea to make your Nagios server as independent as possible from the infrastructure it monitors, i.e., use a dedicated hardware, network, mail- and pager system, firewall and internet connection if possible.

* Consider to setup a second Nagios somewhere on your network, which monitors your central Nagios server. Then you need to install the NRPE also on the central server.
