Nagios service runs certain scripts after a xed time interval, so it acts as a scheduler. It can store the script result and run
other scripts when it is changed.
Now an answer to the questions that why we need plugins, you can also add here that, plugins is executed by Nagios to check
the status of any service or host. A check is performed by the plugin and the result is returned to Nagios. The result is
processed by Nagios to take the necessary actions.

These plugins are executed to monitor the usage of CPU load and memory usage like a local resource of remote machines. It
is required as this information is not usually exposed publicly to an external machine and for this purpose, NRPE agent is
installed on remote machines.
NRPE add-on or plugin has two components that work together to perform the task:
A ‘check_nrpe’ plugin that resides on the local machine and it is used for monitoring
Q5). What are port numbers used by Nagios for monitoring purpose?
Usually, the port number 5666, 5667 and 5668 are used for monitoring in Nagios DevOps tool
(https://acadgild.com/blog/nagios-devops-monitoring-tool).
Resource File: To store sensitive information like user details that may include username and passwords it is used. The

CGI Con guration File: Several directives are contained and stored in CGI le that can affect the CGI o. A reference to the main
con guration le is also stored in this le, so that CGI can know the details of Nagios con guration as and when required and
the location of object de nition storage.
Some states like OK, WARNING, UP, or DOWN state host or service
In case of the SOFT state, the service or host check results are not OK or not up to the mark, even in case if service check
has not been rechecked the number of times that are speci ed for it moreover the times that is being speci ed by the
max_check_attempts directive. Recovery of the component from such Soft error is called Soft Recovery.
When a host or service check result is not ‘OK’ and it has been checked for the number of times, speci ed by the
max_check_attempts directive in the host de nition, then this error is known as Hard Error. Recovery of any service from
this error is known as Hard Recovery. Be a DevOps Expert in 6 weeks Enroll Now

State stalking is used for logging purpose in Nagios. When stalking is enabled for any service or host then Nagios watch it very
carefully and store any changes that if found in the check result of that resource.
Stalking can be helpful in later stages of log le analysis. Here in such scenario, any host or service check can be performed
only if it has been updated for the last time.
Q11). Which three Nagios variables can affect recursion and inheritance in Nagios?
The three variables that affect recursion and inheritance are:
Name
Use
Register
Here, Name is just a placeholder that can be used by the other objects. Use variable can be used to de ne parent object, whose
properties are to be used. Registers are also used for storing values that can be either 0 or 1. Register values cannot be
inherited.
