Nagios Server in a Virtual Machine?

[Cook, Garry]

I just answered a similar question on the smokeping mailing list. I run
smokeping and MRTG in a VMware VM on ESX server. No problems at all.
Nagios runs on a separate VM on the same server, also no issues,
including with time.
As long as your ESX server uses NTP, I don't think you should have any
issues.

Thanks,
Garry

Subject: [Nagios-users] Nagios Server in a Virtual Machine?


Does anyone out there have experience running a Nagios server under a
virtual machine (VM)?  Specifcally VMWare in a Linux VM?

We currently run Nagios 2.9 on a physical box which is pretty adequate
for the volume of hosts and service we check (300-400 hosts, 1800+
services).

I'm a little nervous about some of the things I've heard about VMs being
a little off time-wise, but perhaps that would not be a problem for
Nagios.

I'm interested in any real experiences anyone might have running this
way, pro or con.

Thanks

Mark
