Estimate disk usage for new deployment

Hi I am trying to estimate the disk requirements of a new single instance log server deployment. It is estimated that 13.5GB of syslog events would be received daily. I would like to retain 28 days in the queryable database without needing to load information that has already been archived I would l...

Re: One way output to remote XI server

Thanks @mcapra I have passed on your response to those in my team who know far more about comms than i do. I can see that the trap side of things could be configured to work, but I guess WMI responses would not be covered. The data diode is essentially a device that will only allow traffic in a sing...

One way output to remote XI server

Hi I am investigating a potential XI architecture for a project. The main server and monitored nodes are on a closed network with no access to the internet. The nature of the system means this wont change. I would like to send information from this XI server to a remote XI server via a Data diode - ...

Re: time synch between guest OS and host using VMWare

Hi I managed to unpack the tar file, and have run the script, unfortunately it has reached a point where it is asking me for the location of kernel header files. It seems the Nagios XI VM does not include these files under either /usr/src or /usr/src/kernels. The mechanism to install the files that ...

Re: time synch between guest OS and host using VMWare

Installing the tools is OK. I have just tried using the VMware workstation men option to install VMWare tools. It states I need to mount the virtual cd, launch a terminal, use tar to uncompress the installer then execute VMware-install - unfortunately when I try to unzip the only zipped file (VMware...

Re: time synch between guest OS and host using VMWare

Hi

I currently have the VM running in an isolated environment, so I can be fairly flexible in what is attempted.
The output of hwclock is shown below

Re: time synch between guest OS and host using VMWare

Hi

The target environment will not have access to an NTP server (its an isolated system with no internet access), so I would prefer not to take this approach (target environment will utilise a custom application to synchronise all windows nodes). Can I synch with the host?

Thanks

Chris
