In your previous reply you have mentioned basic package is required on both the system , so if i see here installating nagios xi in LUN and mounting to primarily may not work out , may not be the possibile solution. Please correct me here .

Does this section of that presentation provide enough information?

I believe most of that is still consistent, with the exception of the postgres files since a new XI 5 install doesn't need postgres.

Video is gives the outline about achieving HA in different way , not in depth. If you tell me the files which are essential on both server A and server B then that is helpful.

Here is the HA documentation that we currently have:

https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf

mcapra is correct about us mostly referring people to LinBit/DRBD solution, please read here as well:

https://www.nagios.com/news/2015/10/pre ... nagios-xi/

There are a lot of files that are essential on both servers, unfortunately we do not have a document that lists them, this information still holds true:

https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... 912#p28912

Code: Select all

/var/lib/mrtg
/etc/mrtg
/etc/cron.d/nagiosxi
/etc/cron.d/mrtg
/var/spool/cron/apache
/usr/local/nagios
/usr/local/nagiosxi
/usr/local/nagvis
/usr/local/nrdp
/usr/local/nagiosmobile
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
/etc/httpd/conf.d
/var/www/html/index.php
/var/www/html/nagiosql

Any /tmp files that your plugins use for previous results, the MySQL/PostgreSQL DBs, that's all that I can think of right now.


Thank you
