nagios installation directory

[lntinfo]

as per instructions i have installed nagiosxi in /tmp directory.

i have created mount point e.g./uo1 and given 200 GB space.

presently monitoring 30 windows server under nagiosxi.
after i checked, i have found that /root partition size its showing 30% used, and i have more 150 servers to be monitor under nagiosxi.
so can i use /u01 (200GB) space for logs & nagios stuff.

is /root will be used for nagios or how can i use that 200 GB space. pls. guide.

since default nagios path will be in /usr/local/nagios.

It is hard to say without knowing more about your setup. You will have to consider not only the number of hosts, but also the number of services. The hard drive space requirements would vary depending on whether you are using active or passive checks. Here is a document with our "general guidelines" on hardware requirements needed to run Nagios XI:

Hope this helps.

i have followed that document.

here i want to know that which partition will be used for nagios configuration & logs
can i use that extra mounted partition.

If you look at the following doc, it will explain the steps necessary to move items to different disks. The document is laid out for setting up a ram disk but if you go to the section labeled
"Moving Performance Data to the RAM Disk" this will give you instruction on what needs to be changed to move performance data to the other disk, just adjust accordingly

default nagios installation path /usr/local/nagios/

can i copy this entire path to additinal mounted disk ?

because my root partion is increasing & i want to have all nagios logs generating daily or any data related to nagios should appear in mount point.

The nagios configuration files take up very little space, the majority of space is taken up by the performance data and the MySQL databases.

[lntinfo]

so can we move performance data & Mysql DB to other partition

[scottwilkerson]

Yes as long as you are making the appropriate changes to all the location in the configs (nagios, XI, and MYSQL server)...

Actually if you are planning a large setup, moving mySQL to it's own machine would be a good idea...
