Nagios Support Forum

Dear forum,

I have a Nagios XI VM on Nutanix with Nutanix Guest Tools installed and VSS enabled. Despite of that, I receive a warning that it does not possible to take application-consistent snapshot, because it misses the pre_freeze / post_thraw script.

I googled it, but I did not find any scripts samples for Nagios XI. Can you provide me a link with these scripts? Or provide me samples please?

Nagios Core version : 4.4.10

If you need other information, do not hesitate to write me.

Best regards,

HunkelerA

Thanks for reaching out @HunkelerA,

I do not believe any specific actions need to occur for Nagios XI during either the pre_freeze or post_thaw stages so the world's your oyster when it comes to writing these scripts. You can look here for example scripts and requirements.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Dear @danderson,

Thank you for your response.

I searched if Nagios XI used a database and I found that Nagios used MySQL or MariaDB depending the version of CentOS.

So should I took scripts that also manage the database? Can I take the sample on the link that you sent?

Best regards,

@HunkelerA

The answer would depend on whether or not you need your snapshots to include backing up your database. If you're fine reverting everything in your snapshot except for the database you wouldn't need this, but assuming you do want to restore the database you would want to include it in your snapshot backup.

We would advise following up on the linked Nutanix support pages for more assistance with developing scripts to back up your software using Nutanix VMs.

Let us know if you have further questions
