nagiosxi mysql directory location

Post by michaelli »

Hi support,

I would like to relocate the mysql from /var/lib/mysql to /usr/local/mysql because /usr/local has a bigger size for data storage.
Does it is to do that?

Let me offer a better and supported option - offload it.

This is something we actually recommend. If you can't do that, then relocating the db should be doable and I can't think off-hand of anything that would break, but it's quite likely things may. I would recommend offloading it instead, that way you have something we both support and recommend.
