Nagios Support Forum

Installs fine on a "clean" install of CentOS 5.6, about 30 minutes to monitor 8 nodes. The experience reminded me of another ground-like NMS system that infuriated me, because, it started pushing requirements for what the OS "needed" to be, and took over the package manager from ...

psql: FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "nagiosxi"
ERROR: PostgresQL 'nagiosxi' database schema was not created - exiting.
ERROR: Nagios XI database was not setup properly - exiting.
RESULT=1

installing on ver 6 Redhat Enterprise x64, database steps never complete, unknown problems.

It's a PITA for amateurs and those who step outside the package manager. FAIL!...
