🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so nagios4 is a daemon program that monitors the status of various network accessible systems, devices, and more 👑 like she literally just sits there, all day, every day, checking on your stuff. icon behaviour, honestly.

want more deets? there's online documentation at http://www.nagios.org, or you can peek at the web page on your very own nagios server 🌈

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• main_config_file — the main configuration file, aka the sacred text 📜. on debian systems this defaults to /etc/nagios4/nagios.cfg.
• -h — a helpful usage message 🫶 she's just being nice to you.
• -v — reads all the data in the configuration files and does a basic verification/sanity check 🔍. and like, always make sure you verify your config data before (re)starting Nagios. always. i'm not kidding. do it.
• -s — shows projected/recommended check scheduling information based on the current data in the configuration files 🗓️✨
• -d — starts Nagios in daemon mode (instead of as a foreground process) 💀 so she goes off and does her thing in the background, living her best life.

🍓 FILES 🍓

• /etc/nagios4 — default configuration directory for nagios4 📁💜
