Hi,

Well, there are some ways to install several instances of nagios on one account with only one nagios installation…
BUT, it’s really hard to implement, and, in the end, quite useless

IMHO, the best (and simplest) way to accomplish this is what we did:
create a new account for each instance (nagios, nagios2, nagios3 …etc), make separate installations (as if the others don’t exist) and enjoy :slight_smile:

Hope this helps

ive install nagios via yum… is it easy for me to make another nagios-instance?, and IMHO? is it easy?.. thx for the reply

Cheers!

IMHO = In My Humble Opinion
just an acronym …

and sorry, I don’t know yum; maybe you could try to install nagios the “normal” way (ie: download the sources and compile them) :slight_smile:

lol :), ah ok thx for the info.
