Disable all configuration from GUI.

[vrn_shan]

I am trying out Nagios XI in Amazon EC2 as mentioned here: http://library.nagios.com/library/produ ... -ec2-cloud

1. What I am trying to achieve is:

* Completely disable creating/editing configuration from GUI? I will manually create and manage all my configurations through some version control system. In that case there is no point storing configurations in database, so I would like to disable storing them in database.

* All data generated while monitoring (like Host status, Service status, Alerts, Performance data etc) still gets stored in the MySQL database.

2. Does Nagios XI store copy of 'performance data' in MySQL? What I am interested in is: In case of harddisk failure, will I get the performance data back on restoring the MySQL backup?

1.) plausible if you store all of your config files in the /usr/local/nagios/etc/static directory.

2.) No, performance data is stored in RRD files in
/usr/local/nagios/var/spool/perfdata
and
/var/lib/mrtg
