Nagios Server in a Virtual Machine?

[Sebastian Ganame]

Hi Mark,
       I've been testing Nagios, with not a huge amount of servers, but doing some stress testing with pasive services pushing lots of service_checks_data to the central instance installed in a Xen VM, and nothing seems to be worrying about the VM performance.
       Hope it helps.
       Regards,
   
  Sebastian Ganame

  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

  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
