Hi,
I have started using Nagios recently, and since Nagios core uses files to store every information and no database, can Nagios be used on every file system like ext2, ext3, ntfs, fat, etc.?

Re: Nagios core file system support
I would think the character encoding would be a much larger concern than the file system used. Is there something stopping you from using a modern, common-place format like ext4?
I didn't have too many problems building Nagios Core on a RaspberryPi using exFAT, granted the setup was very small.

Are you trying to run this on Windows? You might be able to make that happen through cygwin or using something like CoLinux, but it's not something we test.harshkhatore wrote: ntfs, fat
We test compiles of Nagios Core on modern versions the following operating systems:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
CentOS
Oracle Linux
Ubuntu
SUSE SLES | openSUSE Leap
Debian
Raspbian
Fedora
Arch Linux
Gentoo
FreeBSD

Re: Nagios core file system support
I would assume that would be covered under the "Apple OS X" as well since they seem to be basically a rebranding and newer version, but I don't know honestly what specific Apple OSes we have here. I'm not an Apple guy so the differences are somewhat lost to me.
