→Investigation 1: Minimal Nagios Resources
* Using the lab1.cfg file, create definitions to get your nagios installation to monitor the following hosts/services:
** Create a host definition to make the nagios machine monitor itself (using a non-loopback address). It should use the check_ping command every ten minutes to make sure it is active.
** Create a service definition to make the nagios machine monitor whether it can connect to it's own web-ssh service (using the non-loopback address). It should use the check_http pre-written check_ssh command every 30 minutes, re-checking every 10 minutes if the initial check fails.
** Create a timeperiod definition, and set it to only include the days and times you are in OPS635. Modify the definitions in lab1.cfg to only run during this time.
* Make sure the webservice running on your nagios machine is accessible from your host machine.
* Access the nagios web console and confirm that these checks are working before continuing.
==Investigation 2: Nagios Notifications==
* Turn flap detection off for the checks you created in investigation 1.
