Thanks Niels. In the meanwhile I've discovered Icinga - which is a
straight fork of Nagios - but backwards compatible. At least they
seem to be using FHS compliant paths by default - so one headache
out of the way. Even better, Icinga2 is a from-the-ground rewrite of
Icinga/Nagios - but with (as far as I can tell) much better
architecture. Again, it is fully compatible with Nagios-plugins. As
a bonus, they have added to both Icinga and Icinga2 full database
support - MySQL, PostgreSQL and Oracle. No need to mess about with
rrd stuff any more. I really like this project - but I am still
struggling to get it going with PostgreSQL and Lighttpd on my
Slackware box :-)<br>

<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
</div>
The new nagios version needs some work indeed.<br>
</div>
I'll update the SlackBuild after the 14.1 repo is finished.<br>
</div>
For now, you can builds nagios 3.5.0 with the current script,
or try out zabbix.<br>
<br>
</div>
Thanks,<br>

I am trying to install and configure Nagios 4.0.1 on a
Slackware 14.1 x86 box. I'm using the scripts from SBo (only
changed the Nagios version number). There seem to be a
number of issues:<br>
<br>
1. Nagios doesn't seem to adhere much to FHS standards. Most
of the stuff that goes into /var gets dumped into
/var/nagios (i.e. /var/nagios/log, /var/nagios/run,
/var/nagios/status, /var/nagios/cache) - instead of the
proper locations - i.e. /var/run/nagios, /var/log/nagios
etc.<br>
<br>
2. The init script which is bundled with Nagios 4.0.1 is
completely unsuitable and won't work on Slackware. It makes
references to /sbin/service - which doesn't even exist in
Slackware. I assume it is tailored to some other Linux
distro - not sure which.<br>
<br>
I've had a look at the earlier Nagios 3.x - and at least it
doesn't use /sbin/service in the init script.<br>
<br>
Are others here using Nagios? Have you just resorted to
patching away to make it more suitable for Slackware? Maybe
there is another network monitoring system out there which
is more Slackware friendly?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance<br>
