How does one change nagios default url to custom url?

Question

I am running Nagios Core 4.0.8 in my environment and I am looking to find a way to change the default url from https://example.com/nagios to https://example.com. Is there a way one can do that?

Answer 1

You will need to edit the cgi.cfg file for Nagios.

1. vim /usr/local/nagios/etc/cgi.cfg

   Change url_html_path=/nagios to url_html_path=/

2. Edit nagios.conf:

   Change ScriptAlias /nagios/cgi-bin "/usr/local/nagios/sbin" to ScriptAlias /cgi-bin "/usr/local/nagios/sbin"

   Comment out the line Alias /nagios "/usr/local/nagios/share" and then add below

   DocumentRoot /usr/local/nagios/share

   Add the following at top of the configuration:

   <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName status.example.com

   and add </VirtualHost> at the bottom.

3. Edit your /usr/local/nagios/share/config.inc.php file:

   Change $cfg['cgi_base_url']='/nagios/cgi-bin'; to $cfg['cgi_base_url']='/cgi-bin';

4. Restart Apache and Nagios
