since most of the users needed a system monitoring so putting forth a nagios setup for the easy monitoring of the tools.

It works also with nginx system. Not everyone is using an apache server so it could be also helpful trick for people using nginx.
You need to create the file:

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/nagios```
And then add following code:

server {
server_name nagios.your-domain.com;
root /usr/local/nagios/share;
listen 80;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
access_log /var/log/nginx/nagios.access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/nagios.error.log;
auth_basic “Nagios Access”;
auth_basic_user_file /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users;

add_header X-Frame-Options "ALLOW";
location ~ \.php$ {
    try_files       $uri = 404;
    fastcgi_index   index.php;
    fastcgi_pass    unix:/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
    include         fastcgi.conf;
}
location ~ \.cgi$ {
    root            /usr/local/nagios/sbin;
    rewrite         ^/nagios/cgi-bin/(.*)\.cgi /$1.cgi break;
    fastcgi_param   AUTH_USER $remote_user;
    fastcgi_param   REMOTE_USER $remote_user;
    include         fastcgi.conf;
    fastcgi_pass    unix:/run/fcgiwrap.socket;
}

location /nagios {
    alias /usr/local/nagios/share;
}

}

After that you do following command to make effective:

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/nagios /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/nagios
sudo systemctl reload nginx
