NagiosQL for Debian
-------------------

NagiosQL comes with a web based installer. For security reason you have to
enable it manually:

  sudo touch /usr/share/nagiosql/htdocs/install/ENABLE_INSTALLER

Start your browser and enter http://<yourhost>/nagiosql.

After installation, you must remove the file ENABLE_INSTALLER, otherwise
you can' start using NagiosQL:

  sudo rm /usr/share/nagiosql/htdocs/install/ENABLE_INSTALLER

In the Webfrontend of NagiosQL login in as user Admin and go to
Administration/Domains -> domain 'localhost'. Please check the settings and
change it to your needs.

For security reasons nagios.cfg and cgi.cfg are not writeable to www-data
as NagiosQL request it. You can read the config files through the web
frontend, but not edit. Unfortunately NagiosQL requests a writeable
nagios.cfg for adding domains or changing values of existing domains.
You can perform the following steps to change permissions of nagios.cfg and
cgi.cfg permanently:

dpkg-statoverride --update --add nagios www-data 0664 /etc/nagios4/nagios.cfg
dpkg-statoverride --update --add nagios www-data 0664 /etc/nagios4/cgi.cfg

Additional remarks:

- this package comes with a configured domain 'localhost' and uses the
  following pathes:
  /etc/nagiosql/domains/localhost		= misc nagios objects
  /etc/nagiosql/domains/localhost/hosts		= host object
  /etc/nagiosql/domains/localhost/services	= service objects
  /etc/nagiosql/domain-backups/localhost	
  /etc/nagiosql/domain-backups/localhost/hosts
  /etc/nagiosql/domain-backups/localhost/services

- add the following line to nagios.cfg:
  
    cfg_dir=/etc/nagiosql/domains/localhost

  check the configs via the web interface and reload nagios4:

    /etc/init.d/nagios4 reload
