Custom location to install Nagios XI on RedHat Linux

[madhudeva]

Hi Team,

Is it possible to install Nagios XI in custom location instead of default location /usr/local ?

Regards,

Yes, but you should use symlinks to keep your life easy. Otherwise, you will need to find/replace a large number of strings across the whole of XI. It is worth mentioning that installing to a different location is *technically* not supported, but we will do our best to help.

Thanks for the update

I initially thought we could change the installation path if we modify the following config file parameter prior to runing fullinstall/ make install but that does not seem feasible technically at the moment

(PROD XI)root@dkd1mr7954:/tmp/nagios# grep proddir /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/xi-sys.cfg
proddir='/usr/local/nagiosxi'

Yeah it takes quite a bit more effort than just that right now. It may be offered in the future though!
