No dice. The entire /var dir is less than 120 megs, and there are no large logs.
Okay, lets back up a bit here, because nagios is definitely not the easiest of applications. Dag/RPMForge maintain rpm packages for nagios, which eliminate 99% of the setup headache. Those packages handle permissions, user creation, etc. Mostly all you have to do is configure the monitoring portion of it, and edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf to allow access as you see fit.
There's a wiki how-to on wiki.centos.org at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Nagios and while it references older versions of nagios, the instructions still hold true for the 2.x tree.
Note that the 3.x tree is still in beta, and has several issues which may keep new users from getting it working properly.
