   Alternatively, you can press Enter to continue with the default file path, /etc/snmp/snmptt.ini. If you have not installed SNMPTT and want to skip this step, press Enter.

     install.sh trap

     <NAGIOS_HOME> is the installed location of Nagios Core and by default, the location of <NAGIOS_HOME> is /usr/local/nagios.

10. To verify the Nagios Core configuration entry, run the following command:
    <NAGIOS_HOME>/bin/nagios -v <NAGIOS_HOME>/etc/nagios.cfg
    A successful configuration update will display zero errors or warnings. If you receive any errors or warnings during this step, resolve them manually.
