In nagvis need to have backend to create data from Nagios Server to Nagvis, so before install Nagvis we must install check_mk first by follow the instruction below:
Check_mk GUI need a python apache module that is not included in distro repositories actually. It can be installed from EPEL repositories.
# Install EPEL Repositories (if needed it)
We can test check_mk in URI http://server/check_mk.
If you find any problem with check_mk livestatus connect to Nagios, first to look is correct load of livestatus in nagios.log:
> tail /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log
[1396806973] livestatus: Livestatus 1.2.5i2 by Mathias Kettner. Socket: '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/live'
[1396806973] livestatus: Please visit us at http://mathias-kettner.de/
[1396806973] livestatus: Hint: please try out OMD - the Open Monitoring Distribution
[1396806973] livestatus: Please visit OMD at http://omdistro.org
[1396806973] livestatus: Finished initialization. Further log messages go to /usr/local/nagios/var/livestatus.log
[1396806973] Event broker module '/usr/lib/check_mk/livestatus.o' initialized successfully.
[1396806974] Successfully launched command file worker with pid 4873
Example localhost in check_mk…
Prerequisites.
yum install php-mbstring php-pdo graphviz
Installation
tar zxfv nagvis-1.8b3.tar.gz
cd nagvis-1.8b3
./install.sh
Main questions from install are about paths and users but Nagvis install discover so good all important values. We must select only “backend mklivestatus”
Test your new Nagivis web site: http://server/nagvis/ (admin/admin)
# Install EPEL Repositories (if needed it)

Check_mk install is quite easy. It may be even easier if you copy next text in a file named “.check_mk_setup.conf” in your home root (first character file name is “.”).
