Parallel installation on same server

Post by MichelStraehl »

Hi

I have already searched the forum and also searched via Google for a solution, unfortunately found nothing. Therefore I ask the forum.

I use Nagios Core 4.4.8.
With it I monitor some ticket vending machines in our company network.
Now I received a request if I could also monitor lockers.
Since these are two different areas and also different systems, I wanted to install a second Nagios instance.
Is it possible to install two different instances of Nagios on the same server, i.e. different processes and different configurations?

Would it work if I compile Nagios with a different prefix at ./configure?
e.g. ./configure --prefix=prefix --with-cgiurl=cgiurl --with-htmurl=htmurl --with-nagios-user=someuser --with-nagios-grp=somegroup
Would this create a second instance or would it override the existing instance?

Thank you very much.

Hi @MichelStraehl,

Thank you for reaching out!

Unfortunately, there is no official support for running multiple Nagios Core instances on the same server.

If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out!
