Once way to figure that out would be to step through the fullinstall script and instead run each command by-hand. There are also sub-scripts you'll need to walk through. This would require some Bash knowledge.

Otherwise, you can install via the official repository:

Not sure what you mean by the "diferrent id number" bit, but here's documentation for offloading the database:

@mcapra is correct, but didn't address the piece above. You can certainly offload the mysql server: https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... Server.pdf

uid of nagios user have to be 2000 for example to respect company conventions

also the directory of nagios installation have to be /opt/nagios and not /usr/local/ ....

is that possible?

This particular piece is for sure, but it's not a particularly good idea. The way people have done this most successfully is through symlinks.

If you'd like help customizing your system, I am happy to have Sales put together a quote for custom development.

Probably the best thing to do is email [email protected], but if you want the technical staff to handle the quote, you should email [email protected]. We do not handle official business through PMs.
