Moving Nagios to different directory

[tah7004]

Hello,

Is there away to move Nagios from the default /usr/local/ to somewhere like /opt/?

Nothing that we have documented, but usually a symlink will suffice.

There are some things you will need to change in /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/config.inc.php if you truly wish to move it all over, like the following:

Code: Select all

// base root directory where XI is installed
$cfg['root_dir'] = "/usr/local/nagiosxi";

// directory where scripts are installed
$cfg['script_dir'] = "/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts";

$cfg['xidpe_dir'] = '/usr/local/nagios/var/spool/xidpe/';
$cfg['perfdata_spool'] = '/usr/local/nagios/var/spool/perfdata/';

// nom checkpoints
$cfg['nom_checkpoints_dir'] = "/usr/local/nagiosxi/nom/checkpoints/nagioscore/";

You will also likely need to change some paths in the Core side of things as well if you are planning on moving the entire codebase.

I will also point out that this is not strictly guaranteed or supported, since we do not have this documented and have not tested this internally.
