Nagios Support Forum

You suggested map common drive for database in both server for avoiding data lass, write ?

This solution not allowed in our environment, that's why I am trying solve this with another way and need your help for same.

"Mapping" implies a Windows-centric outlook. I'm not talking about mapping drives, as Nagios doesn't run on Windows machines. I'm talking about a shared MySQL/MariaDB database on a third server somewhere, among other things. Topics that are likely to require hands-on assistance rather than forum support.

I am talking exactly same, this is not allowed.

shared MySQL/MariaDB database on a third server somewhere, among other things.

Need to configure solution with the two servers.

Then your only real solution is as @tgriep says:

tgriep wrote:The only truly way to stop the writing data to the SQL database, you would have to stop the Nagios process and the ndo2db process and then it will not be running so it cannot ship the logs to the other server.

After stopping Nagios process and the ndo2db process and then it will not be running

Till that ok.

After this step we want update database through log shipping from anther server, this is possible ?

No, it is not possible.

Please close this thread, we have created external scripting solution for the same.

Sounds good! I'll be closing this thread!

If you have any more questions, feel free to create another thread.

Thanks for using the Nagios Support Forum!
