Routine Maint for Nagios XI

Post by toleolu »

I was just wondering if there is any documentation on best practices for Nagios XI maintenace. Seems like it's taking longer and longer to apply new or changed configs. Just wondering if there are any log files or other things that might need to be periodically cleaned up.

You can tell I'm a Windows guy, right!!!

Most of this maintenance is taken care of by Nagios XI on the back-end. You could clear up some old apache logs, I would leave the archived nagios logs themselves as they are crucial for a number of your reports.

I don't believe we have such a document but first, make sure that you followed our general guidelines on the hardware requirements needed to run Nagios XI:

If your Nagios XI instance needs some "tuning up", I would recommend reading through the "Boosting Performance" section in the Administrator's Guide:

Hope this helps.
