Nagios - Newbie

[Morris, Patrick]

I've found a good general practice, for just about any type of server,
is to start with a minimal install.  Then, as you put the server
together, add packages as you need them.  It may be a bit slower and
more involved than just selecting from a list during a GUI install, but
it gives you exactly what you need without any extra junk you don't.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Nagios - Newbie

 

I am currently digesting the documentation for Nagios 2.0 from the
Nagios Website. I intend to start my first installation after I finish
reading the documentation which seems to be very straightforward.

 

 The question that I have is in reference to the base OS installation. I
will be using Fedora Core 4, and would like to ask if there are any
recommendations or documents about a box specifically dedicated to
Nagios.

 

 Example: Should I accept the "Web Servers" default installation from
Anaconda, or should I download a specific Apache version from any
particular place etc. Same question with Compiler installs. 

 

 These questions all in the context of what is best for a foundation for
a Nagios box.

 

Kind Regards,

Curtis
