Nagios With centreon

Post by ThomasPrz »

Hi everyone !
I have installed my new monitoring server (with nagios ) and i'd like to know if it's possible to add centreon additional to nagios ?
Or i have to start again a new server with only Centreon ?

Thanks you

As this is posted in the Nagios XI section of the forums, I will assume you're asking about Nagios XI.

It *might* be possible. Per the official installation documentation, it is *absolutely* not a good idea.
Important: Nagios Enterprises highly recommends and will only support installing Nagios XI on a newly
installed, "clean" system (a bare minimal install with nothing else installed or configured).

Attempting to install Nagios XI on a pre-existing system with other applications already installed can cause
the Nagios XI installation process to fail, critical system components and settings (e.g. database servers) to
be modified in a way that negatively affects other applications, and previously installed applications to be
automatically upgraded or removed. While installing XI on a system with other applications is possible, it is
not recommended due to the possible interactions and complexity of multiple components that are required
for Nagios XI to function. If you choose to ignore these warnings, you do so at your own risk.

Other Nagios products (Network Analyzer, Log Server and Fusion) should not co-exist on the same server.
You should probably start with a new machine.

mcapra is correct, please use a different server so that it doesn't impact the XI installation.
