Access to a remote MySQL database over SSL

[mvndnburg]

We have configured Nagios XI (5.2.9) to use a MySQL server on another host. Both running RHEL 6.

Can Nagios XI be configured to use an encrypted (TLS) connection with MySQL?

The short answer is no. You'd basically have to rewrite the connector we use to leverage the mysqli_ssl_set function in some fashion, which is pretty heavy in terms of altering the core of Nagios XI.

Thanks for your reply.
From what I've read the performance hit could be considerable, anyway.

We can certainly put in the feature request if you would like, otherwise I'll be closing the thread.

I will consider creating a feauture request. However, the results of my quick research into the performance hits put me off. I am counting on getting away with plain text for now.

Please go ahead and close this thread.
