**Nagios **is a network monitoring tool. It can monitor both hosts and services, warning when happening the problems and also when the problems are solved. The Hosts are equipment and Services are resources offered by the equipment.
The objective of this functionality is to **register and maintain the managers that will be responsible for monitoring the configuration items and event occurrences captured from Nagios**. It allows the user to inform when the Manager will be processed, which configuration items will manage and the actions to be taken automatically.
This feature provides a variety of actions, such as including, changing, and deleting a Nagios manager.
## Before getting started
It is necessary to previously register:
- [x] **4biz** ******Event Monitor** connection;
- [x] Time;
- [x] Occurrence category;
- [x] Automatic action; and
- [x] **4biz** ******Inventory** connection.
## Procedure
1. Access the functionality through the main menu `Processes > Event Management > Nagios > Nagios Manager`;
2. Complete the fields for Basic Data, Scheduler Data, Configuration Item Parent, and Configuration Item Child;
3. In the "**Parent Configuration Item**" area, it is possible to register the CI in
**4biz** with the data of the Host selected. Click on "**Create CI**". Remember
that this registration can only be made if there is no CI with the same Host
identification:
- Enter the data of the child configuration item;
- Conduct a relationship between the Host service and the child configuration
item.
- Each hosting service must be related to its respective child
configuration item.
4. Click on "**Save**".
