Configuration
To define a nagios cfg source:
- Configure the module in the file /etc/shinken/modules/cfg-file-nagios.cfg
to define the behaviour of the module - Then configure the source in the file /etc/shinken/sources/cfg-file-nagios.cfg
to enable the source and call the module configured in step 1. - Then you must declare the VMware source in the file /etc/shinken/synchronizers/synchronizer-master.cfg.
