Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

Anyone knows if it's possible or has ever installed NagiosXI from sources? I can see the guide for Nagios Core, but since it uses /configure, which does not exist in xi, I cannot find a way. The reason I am asking is because I want to install it in a different path, that I will create in /opt/nagios and not in /usr as it would normally go. Basically I need to use the --prefix=/opt/nagios command.
Another thing, is that I want to perform the installation using a non-root or sudoer user, hence, I don't even have permission to run /fullinstall.
Anyone has seen this before?

Cheers

Hello @donpook,

Thanks for joining the Nagios Community Forum, and giving XI at try. We've had a few inquiries for custom paths, but it's not a built-in feature, so it wouldn't be a supported configuration.

The following document explains the directory structure in XI if you'd like to learn more.

Another thing, is that I want to perform the installation using a non-root or sudoer user, hence, I don't even have permission to run /fullinstall.

You need to install as root or scripts are not able to get everything set up and configured. The good news is the installation is a breeze. One line, that's it!

I am having lots of trouble installing Nagios Core. I am getting an "unexpected end of file" when performing the command "tar xzf nagioscore.tar.gz". Can someone help me?

Hi Amanda,

The following guide has up-to-date directions on installing Nagios Core for the supported Linux distributions. If you're still having trouble, please follow the steps there and it should install without issue.
