Nagios Server in a Virtual Machine?

[TC]

We have been running Nagios 2.6 on a VM for over 6 months now. 
To resolve the time issues, we just sync the server every minute with rdate.
You can add this line to your crontab file:

	*  *  * * *     /usr/bin/rdate -l -s time.mit.edu

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
