Storage size for PCI Compliance

Post by gbautista »

Hi
Nagios (XI, Logserver, Network Analyzer) is able to store logs over 1 year in order to cover PCI compliance.
How do I attached an external SAN/NAS?
Best regards

It depends on the OS they are running, and what type of shares they are, what is the output of this command on the systems?

Code: Select all

uname -a
cat /etc/*release
Is the SAN/NAS using CIFS/SAMBA or is it an NFS share or something else?

The general process is to mount it up, make sure you add it to /etc/fstab so it starts on boot, and then set the backup locations in the applications under Admin.

You would mount an NFS share like this (don't forget to set it in your /etc/fstab so it mounts it on boot):
