I'm currently in the process of setting up NagVis, and one of the prerequisites is that mk-livestatus be up and running on your Nagios server.

This is proving difficult.

The website for check_mk only has instructions on how to install all of check_mk, as far as I can tell, which I don't really need to do. I was going off these installation instructions here, with one difference: the path /usr/lib/nagios/mklivestatus is now /usr/lib64/nagios/mklivestatus. However, when I get to the final step and test it out by entering the command

echo 'GET hosts' | unixcat /usr/lib64/nagios/mk-livestatus/live

I get the following message:

No UNIX socket /usr/lib64/nagios/mk-livestatus/live existing

I've tried installing more recent versions of mk-livestatus, but every other version number I enter into the wget command just comes back with ERROR 404: Not Found. All the advice I've found relating to this problem seems quite out of date, so I'm having trouble puzzling this out.

I'm running Nagios 4.3.4 on a CentOS 7 server. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

The path to the socket could be anything, does /usr/lib64/nagios/mk-livestatus/live exist? If not, does the live socket exist somewhere else? Your livestatus configuration should probably contain the path where the socket is placed.
