    I created this file:

     sudo vi /etc/systemd/system/nagios.service

    and added the following:

    [Unit]
Description=Nagios
BindTo=network.target


[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

[Service]
User=nagios
Group=nagios
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

    Then the following:

       sudo systemctl enable /etc/systemd/system/nagios.service
   sudo systemctl  start nagios
   sudo systemctl  restart nagios
