Moving NagiosXI file directories

Post by coitop »

Hello,

We have installed Nagios XI under default directories (/usr/local/...) and our customer's organization does not allow applications under root directories. What we are thinking as a solution, is to stop nagios service, create a virtual volume, and create below paths inside it:
o /usr/local/nagios
o /usr/local/nsis
o /usr/local/nagiosxi
o /usr/local/nagiosmobile
o /usr/local/nagvis
o /usr/local/nrdp
o /store

After creating the volume, move all existing files in correspond directories and start the service.

Would that be an appropriate solution to our problem? Would there be any problem with our existing application?

Thanks.

I believe that some users have had success installing XI in custom locations using symlinks, but I must reiterate that this is not currently a supported configuration.

Some have also had success with moving relevant files, but they ran into an issue with the service starting.
