    # LOG FILE
    # This is the main log file where service and host events are logged
    # for historical purposes.  This should be the first option specified
    # in the config file!!!

    log_file=@localstatedir@/nagios.log

    # OBJECT CONFIGURATION FILE(S)
    # These are the object configuration files in which you define hosts,
    # host groups, contacts, contact groups, services, etc.
    # You can split your object definitions across several config files
    # if you wish (as shown below), or keep them all in a single config file.

    # You can specify individual object config files as shown below:
    cfg_file=@sysconfdir@/objects/commands.cfg
    cfg_file=@sysconfdir@/objects/contacts.cfg
    cfg_file=@sysconfdir@/objects/timeperiods.cfg
    cfg_file=@sysconfdir@/objects/templates.cfg

    # Definitions for monitoring the local (Linux) host
    cfg_file=@sysconfdir@/objects/localhost.cfg

    # Definitions for monitoring a Windows machine
    #cfg_file=@sysconfdir@/objects/windows.cfg

    # Definitions for monitoring a router/switch
    #cfg_file=@sysconfdir@/objects/switch.cfg

    # Definitions for monitoring a network printer
    #cfg_file=@sysconfdir@/objects/printer.cfg

    # You can also tell Nagios to process all config files (with a .cfg
    # extension) in a particular directory by using the cfg_dir
    # directive as shown below:

    #cfg_dir=@sysconfdir@/servers
    #cfg_dir=@sysconfdir@/printers
    #cfg_dir=@sysconfdir@/switches
    #cfg_dir=@sysconfdir@/routers

    # OBJECT CACHE FILE
    # This option determines where object definitions are cached when
    # Nagios starts/restarts.  The CGIs read object definitions from
    # this cache file (rather than looking at the object config files
    # directly) in order to prevent inconsistencies that can occur
    # when the config files are modified after Nagios starts.

    object_cache_file=@localstatedir@/objects.cache

    # PRE-CACHED OBJECT FILE
    # This options determines the location of the precached object file.
    # If you run Nagios with the -p command line option, it will preprocess
    # your object configuration file(s) and write the cached config to this
    # file.  You can then start Nagios with the -u option to have it read
    # object definitions from this precached file, rather than the standard
    # object configuration files (see the cfg_file and cfg_dir options above).
    # Using a precached object file can speed up the time needed to (re)start
    # the Nagios process if you've got a large and/or complex configuration.
    # Read the documentation section on optimizing Nagios to find our more
    # about how this feature works.

    precached_object_file=@localstatedir@/objects.precache

    # RESOURCE FILE
    # This is an optional resource file that contains $USERx$ macro
    # definitions. Multiple resource files can be specified by using
    # multiple resource_file definitions.  The CGIs will not attempt to
    # read the contents of resource files, so information that is
    # considered to be sensitive (usernames, passwords, etc) can be
    # defined as macros in this file and restrictive permissions (600)
    # can be placed on this file.

    resource_file=@sysconfdir@/resource.cfg

    # STATUS FILE
    # This is where the current status of all monitored services and
    # hosts is stored.  Its contents are read and processed by the CGIs.
    # The contents of the status file are deleted every time Nagios
    #  restarts.

    status_file=@localstatedir@/status.dat

    # STATUS FILE UPDATE INTERVAL
    # This option determines the frequency (in seconds) that
    # Nagios will periodically dump program, host, and
    # service status data.

    status_update_interval=10

    # NAGIOS USER
    # This determines the effective user that Nagios should run as.
    # You can either supply a username or a UID.

    nagios_user=@nagios_user@

    # NAGIOS GROUP
    # This determines the effective group that Nagios should run as.
    # You can either supply a group name or a GID.

    nagios_group=@nagios_grp@

    # EXTERNAL COMMAND OPTION
    # This option allows you to specify whether or not Nagios should check
    # for external commands (in the command file defined below).
    # By default Nagios will check for external commands.
    # If you want to be able to use the CGI command interface
    # you will have to enable this.
    # Values: 0 = disable commands, 1 = enable commands

    check_external_commands=1

    # EXTERNAL COMMAND FILE
    # This is the file that Nagios checks for external command requests.
    # It is also where the command CGI will write commands that are submitted
    # by users, so it must be writeable by the user that the web server
    # is running as (usually 'nobody').  Permissions should be set at the
    # directory level instead of on the file, as the file is deleted every
    # time its contents are processed.

    command_file=@localstatedir@/rw/nagios.cmd

    # QUERY HANDLER INTERFACE
    # This is the socket that is created for the Query Handler interface

    #query_socket=@localstatedir@/rw/nagios.qh

    # LOCK FILE
    # This is the lockfile that Nagios will use to store its PID number
    # in when it is running in daemon mode.

    lock_file=@subsyslockfile@

    # TEMP FILE
    # This is a temporary file that is used as scratch space when Nagios
    # updates the status log, cleans the comment file, etc.  This file
    # is created, used, and deleted throughout the time that Nagios is
    # running.

    temp_file=@localstatedir@/nagios.tmp

    # TEMP PATH
    # This is path where Nagios can create temp files for service and
    # host check results, etc.

    temp_path=@TMPDIR@

    # EVENT BROKER OPTIONS
    # Controls what (if any) data gets sent to the event broker.
    # Values:  0      = Broker nothing
    #         -1      = Broker everything
    #         <other> = See documentation

    event_broker_options=-1

    # EVENT BROKER MODULE(S)
    # This directive is used to specify an event broker module that should
    # by loaded by Nagios at startup.  Use multiple directives if you want
    # to load more than one module.  Arguments that should be passed to
    # the module at startup are separated from the module path by a space.

    # WARNING !!! WARNING !!! WARNING !!! WARNING !!! WARNING !!! WARNING
    #!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    #
    # Do NOT overwrite modules while they are being used by Nagios or Nagios
    # will crash in a fiery display of SEGFAULT glory.  This is a bug/limitation
    # either in dlopen(), the kernel, and/or the filesystem.  And maybe Nagios...
    #
    # The correct/safe way of updating a module is by using one of these methods:
    #    1. Shutdown Nagios, replace the module file, restart Nagios
    #    2. Delete the original module file, move the new module file into place,
    #	restart Nagios
    #
    # Example:
    #
    #   broker_module=<modulepath> [moduleargs]

    #broker_module=/somewhere/module1.o
    #broker_module=/somewhere/module2.o arg1 arg2=3 debug=0

    # LOG ROTATION METHOD
    # This is the log rotation method that Nagios should use to rotate
    # the main log file. Values are as follows..
    #	n	= None - don't rotate the log
    #	h	= Hourly rotation (top of the hour)
    #	d	= Daily rotation (midnight every day)
    #	w	= Weekly rotation (midnight on Saturday evening)
    #	m	= Monthly rotation (midnight last day of month)

    # to 1.

    log_event_handlers=1

    # INITIAL STATES LOGGING OPTION
    # If you want Nagios to log all initial host and service states to
    # the main log file (the first time the service or host is checked)
    # you can enable this option by setting this value to 1.  If you
    # are not using an external application that does long term state
    # statistics reporting, you do not need to enable this option.  In
    # this case, set the value to 0.

    # GLOBAL HOST AND SERVICE EVENT HANDLERS
    # These options allow you to specify a host and service event handler
    # command that is to be run for every host or service state change.
    # The global event handler is executed immediately prior to the event
    # handler that you have optionally specified in each host or
    # service definition. The command argument is the short name of a
    # command definition that you define in your host configuration file.
