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
