Update:
When I run the command to start Nagios (/opt/bin/nagios /opt/etc/nagios/nagios.cfg), it seems to hang:

I attempt to access via browser (localhost or 192.168.1.1/nagios and nagiosadmin), "No such file or directory"

Wouldn't nagios be way too heavy to run on a router??

Anyways, I do notice one thing that is wrong: you attempt to go to 192.168.1.1/nagios.
Normally the router GUI is already running on port 80 -> Nagios cannot run on the same port.

So at least you have to change the config of nagios so that it will listen on a different port.
(or hack the router configuration files, so that the router gui listens on a different port).
 
and btw the warning from nagios -> router ping command does not support the -w option, so it will give an error, letting nagios think that localhost (127.0.0.1) is unreachable.

Not sure if you can change Nagios to use ping without the -w option.

Also interesting to check: which $PATH is set when Nagios is started? i.e., if that $PATH would start with /opt/bin:/opt:sbin, would Nagios then use /opt/bin/ping ?? Or does it use hardcoded paths?
(perhaps try something like export PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:$PATH && /opt/bin/nagios -v )

Otherwise a different workaround -> edit the symlink /bin/ping so that it no longer points to busybox but to /opt/bin/busybox
But this is a dangerous workaround -> if some router scripts also rely on ping during boot, then these scripts might do unexpected things if the USB-stick with entware is missing or not yet mounted.
 
I appreciate the reply/input:)

I installed Nagios from the entware package manager on a Netgear R9000 running on Voxel firmware. There wasn't much to configure.

Voxel's Firmware

www.voxel-firmware.com www.voxel-firmware.com

Tried (export PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:$PATH && /opt/bin/nagios -v) it didn't work.

I changed Nagios to "url_html_path=:8086", but is still isn't starting so not sure if it will work...

I've attached the nagios.cfg and commands.cfg files...

I do not use Nagios and I never used it. But, as far as I understand, it requires some additional package(s) to access it by http. Such as webserver and (?) php - I am not sure. nginx or lighthttpd or appache or ... And most probably corresponding plugin of Nagios (nagios-plugins).

It is not so easy for me to help you and to realize your need and knowledge (e.g. I prefer and I use nginx + php7 for my own needs, I have to use nginx + appache2 + php5 for corporative need etc.)

What is your goal? There is the package netdata allowing to monitor your router. Much more easy to install and use. Maybe it is enough?

Hello,

I appreciate the assist.

My intent is to use Nagios to monitor my home network. I've set it on a Raspi 4 successfully, and that may be the way I end up going, but as it is my home network (less than 150 devices), if I can get it configured on the in the R9000, that would be more convenient.

I am going to add an IoT VLAN, a lab VLAN, and a VLAN for all of the mobile devices, everything else will be on the main network. I'll set up a management VLAN and monitor everything from there.

I have 3 VLAN capable switches, 1 is a 10gb mikrotik connected to the R9000 10G port, and 2 netgear switches.

Setup:
R9000 10g port > mikrotik
MS510TX (2 10G ports, 2-5G ports, 2-2.5G ports, 4-1G ports) > Mikrotik > R9000
GS108TV2 > R9000

right now wifi is all R9000 (most of the IoT is wifi)

VLANs:
IoT (I may use 1 of the R9000 guest wifi VLAN)
Lab > GS108
Mobil devices > R9000 WIFI

The R9000 with your firmware, Kamoj add-on (which works very well with wireguard) and Entware will hopefully provide monitoring and security using Nagios and SNORT. I have a few days off and I want to get all of it set before I go back to work.

I'm pretty sure the R9000 VLAN/Bridging will work fine after I set up VLANs on the switches. I should be able to bridge the guest wifi. I have looked into the R9000 regular wifi yet, but I may just use an R7000 I for all wifi. I'm still mapping it out...

Thanks much, and Happy Holidays:)
