After adding a new service check or changing the config in general, you will have to make Nagios reload its config files or restart Nagios. Most times a reload is enough. So: |

/etc/init.d/nagios reload |

or, if that doesnt work, |
|||
/etc/init.d/nagios restart |
|||
This applies to a [[Redhat]] or [[Debian]] based [[Linux]] distribution. The init scripts might be in other places on different [[operating system]]s or distributions. |

Check your config[edit]
before reloading its all ways a good idea to check your config
[Nagios base directory]/bin/nagios -v [Nagios base directory]/etc/nagios.cfg

Restarting Nagios[edit]
After adding a new service check or changing the config in general, you will have to make Nagios reload its config files or restart Nagios. Most times a reload is enough. So:
/etc/init.d/nagios reload
or, if that doesnt work,
/etc/init.d/nagios restart
This applies to a Redhat or Debian based Linux distribution. The init scripts might be in other places on different operating systems or distributions.
