10.2.3 Set up SDT for Nagios on the central Nagios server
Once the Nagios service, network host and serial port have been configured on the console server you are ready to run
the SDT for Nagios Configuration Wizard on the central Nagios server.
The primary function of the wizard is to connect to each distributed Opengear console server and import configuration into
the central Nagios server. This effectively adds the hosts and service checks you set up on the distributed Opengear
console servers into your central Nagios server.
The wizard is a Linux command line script, and can be downloaded from http://www.opengear.com/download.html Copy
or download the wizard to the central Nagios server and open a command line terminal:
 Download the wizard to a location on the central Nagios server
 Open a command line terminal and change directory to the location of the wizard
 Ensure the wizard script is executable by executing chmod +x sdtnagios-config
 Ensure you are running as a user with write permissions to Nagios configuration and web UI files and directories
 Execute the wizard script, e.g. ./sdtnagios-config
The wizard will prompt you for the location of some Nagios configuration files (with the option to search), and the IP
addresses and login credentials of the distributed Opengear console servers.
After the distributed configuration has been imported, the wizard will ask if you want to apply the Opengear SDT Nagios
UI theme. This is not required, and simply changes the look and feel of the Nagios UI to that pictured below.
