Stopping/Starting Nagios Xi and Fusion

[RIDS_I2MP]

Hi Team,

We have a 2 Nagios Xi(2014R2.7) instances and 1 Fusion(2014R1.0) Instance running on CentOS release 6.4 (Final) monitoring over 500 nodes and 1500 services on each system.

The OS team wants to bring down the system for some maintenance. Can you please give us step by step instructions for stopping and starting Nagios Xi and Nagios Fusion.

We will initiate the backup with the script provided prior to bringing down the services.

Nagios XI or Fusion servers can be safely stopped by running from the CLI:

Code: Select all

shutdown -h now

Hi.

We wanted to shutdown application gracefully before server restart.Just wanted to know which services needs to be stopped for Nagios xi and fusion.

shutdown -h now is what we usually do if we are going to power off the system right away anyway, but if you want to keep the server running and just shut down the nagios-related services:

Code: Select all

service nagios stop
service ndo2db stop
service postgresql stop
service mysqld stop
service httpd stop
service crond stop

with crond being somewhat optional, but we do run some cron-based scripts that you might want to bring down as well.
