Re: [Nagios-users] upgrading nagios
LS, In other words, it would put the whole nagios install under /usr/local/nagios, the default location if you do not specify an alternate prefix. Great! I've always had nagios in /usr/local. And is also documented in our installation documents. So, I (or we) prefer to have nagios in /usr/local. Personally, if I were you, I would _not_ rebuild it in a non-standard way like you mention above unless you have very good reason to do so - Yes, there may be more work involved, but the end result will be worth it. Which non-standard way? Oh, with regard to other tools... Or the docs on nagios.org... And because there's more work involved (where is this or that file located?), we keep nagios in a central place. (The guy who takes over your job down the road will also be grateful, and you won't have to hunt over the whole system to find the stuff you need!) That guy needs to read our docs first... :-))). And when I store everything in /usr/local/nagios, I don't have to hunt anything... ;-)) Just my $0,10, cu l8r, Edgar.

[Nagios-users] upgrading nagios
has anyone done upgrage from 2.x to 3.x the previous guy who has installed 2.8 had specified different directories , instead of /usr/local/nagios. I almost figured it out what the directories are. Now should i specify them in ./configure --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/lib/nagios/cgi --datadir=/usr/share/nagios --sysconfdir=/etc/nagios --localstatedir=/var/log/nagios What is --prefix will do, and is there any thing else that is left over? Can any one guide me through proper direction -- Anirudh Srinivasan -- This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.

[Nagios-users] Upgrading nagios and plugins in a mixed environment
Greetings, I've been running nagios for a few months. We have a mixed environment of Windows, Solaris, AIX and Linux servers with about 100 servers and about 600 services. I'm looking to upgrade to newer nagios versions soon, but I'm not looking forward to getting on each client and server. I curious how those of you do upgrades of new versions and plugins of nagios.
