Using SLES10 and Nagios 3.x under VMWare

[Deborah Martin]

Hi Christian, 

The vmware environment (i.e Sles10) is built by IT services here so I don't
have any insight on this part. 

I shall then build nagios from source so that I have a more granular control
over where things go although it's mostly 
to standard places i.e /usr/local/nagios etc 



regards,
deborah

Hi,
we've used an vmware image for testing our config and new nagios packages
and everything went fine. We now changed to xen guests because I prefer xen
;)

I see no problems with running nagios in a virtual machine.

Do you use the official packages from SLES or the ones from buildservice? Or
do you install nagios from sources?

Greetings,
