Post Installation
Nagios host configuration files contain the check script definition which require passwords. Dell EMC Nagios 3.1 Plug-in provides a way in which the passwords can be encrypted. The passphrase for the encryption is stored in a secure location with required permission to the file. Following are the steps to create a file and a passphrase:
Guidelines to create a Passphrase Resource file and a Passphrase
- Create a Passphrase Resource file to store a passphrase for encryption and decryption.
- Navigate to <NAGIOS_HOME>/etc/resource.cfg and define a macro $OMINAGIOSRESPATH$=<absolute path>$OMINAGIOSRESPATH$=<absolute path> in the resource.cfg and provide the absolute path of the file created in step 1.
- Restart the Nagios core services by running the following command:
service nagios restart
- Passphrase Resource file should have a read permission for the Nagios user and the user running discovery script.
- Passphrase shall contain any alphanumeric and special characters.
- The length of the passphrase should be minimum of 10 characters and maximum of 25 characters.
- It is recommended to change the passphrase at regular interval of time.
- Passphrase Resource file should have a read permission for the Nagios user.
