Re: Any guidelines for hardening the Nagios Core VM?

Appreciate it. There hasn't been any new replies from your side. For me this is enough for me to construct the doc for our customer. You can close this thread if you like. Thank you again!

Re: Any guidelines for hardening the Nagios Core VM?

Hi, I will be going through the links today and tomorrow. Can I keep it open in case I have further questions?
