Can Fusion be installed on an existing machine running xi?

Post by ssouthern »

We have two Nagios xi virtual machines running on Hyper-V servers.

Can the Nagios xi VM at our corporate head office have Fusion installed on it alongside the xi install, or does it require its own VM?

It is recommended that you provision a server/vm specifically for your Fusion system as it will require many of the same processes as Nagios xi does.

I believe you can do this, but to be on a safe side, I wouldn't recommend it.
Nagios Enterprises recommends installing Nagios Fusion either on a newly installed (“clean”) system. It is not currently recommended
to install Nagios Fusion on the same machine is Nagios xi for both performance reasons and potential conflicts in subsystem
processes.
