  vim /etc/sysconfig/spawn-fcgi

• Configuration for SPAWN-FCGI

FCGI_SOCKET=/var/run/fcgiwrap.socket
FCGI_PROGRAM=/usr/local/sbin/fcgiwrap
FCGI_USER=nginx
FCGI_GROUP=nginx
FCGI_EXTRA_OPTIONS="-M 0700"
OPTIONS="-u $FCGI_USER -g $FCGI_GROUP -s $FCGI_SOCKET -S $FCGI_EXTRA_OPTIONS -F 1 -P /var/run/spawn-fcgi.pid -- $FCGI_PROGRAM"

• Starting and Enabling Spawn-fcgi

  systemctl start spawn-fcgi
  systemctl enable spawn-fcgi

Thanks a lot for the configuration. Please don't mind I am suggesting the following points.

1. Add yum install -y https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm OR yum install epel-release -y
   I encountered the error to install the nagios-plugins-all package. Because epel-release is not installed on my instance. Likewise, other users will face issue.
2. There is a spelling mistake in systemctl start spawn-cgi. It should be systemctl start spawn-fcgi. Baecause you added spawn-fcgi in the file /etc/sysconfig/spawn-fcgi.
   Finally again thanks a lot. It help to configure the nagios on nginx.
