Can I do this?

Post by SteveBeauchemin »

I would like to know if Nagios has any concerns about running on the version 4 kernel. I run Red Hat 7 and am considering moving to the new kernel for specific reasons.

I am being inspired by Google

Please advise.

Officially we don't have any kernel recommendations as long as they work. As with any "bleeding-edge" (term is being used loosely) tech, there is a chance you will run into issues, but we don't test against bleeding edge. Really, as long as MySQL, PHP, and Apache are stable, XI should be as well for the most part.

So far - it is working on my test system. Just added it.

Google is running it in their Data Centers, so that is encouraging. The TCP BBR is new but worth trying and being aware of.

Thanks.

Feel free to close this.
