Thanks, Joe As Nagios XI is the commercial application and this user list is for the free version , i doubt you'll get the info you ask for . That being said - nagios the free product runs well on SLES , but assume nothing , as again as XI is the commercial app - it could be that the license and support only work as described in the web and info given.

Thanks for the clarification. I'll try elsewhere.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios XI question
Good question. Probably because we're not familiar enough with the Nagios space to know any better... I'll review PNP4Nagios - thanks for the suggestion. Any others? Someone I was just talking to suggested NagiosQL too. On Mon, Mar 21, 2011 at 11:01 AM, khurram aziz khurramazizkha...@yahoo.comwrote: Hi Joe, just one question for You..

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios XI question
Perhaps he just wanted to check it out for the nagios core configuration gui , as i am doing today... OTOH, i can see xi being a very nice product for folks/sites who do not want to hassle with maintaining/setting up all the free stuff... (although, I personally do not think it's worth the $, at least based on my few days of trial (and error lol).

Nagios XI does include a number of free projects packaged together, including Nagios Core, pnp4nagios, NagiosQL, and MRTG, and for some people there's value in having that pre-packaged, but that's not the prime selling point. The bigger issues are things like the configuration wizards, easier configuration of contacts and contact methods, the ability to build custom dashboards, autodiscovery, expanded management-friendly reporting and visualizations, and some other pre-built integration pieces. On a related note though, we are working on something to better demonstrate the capabilities of the free components like pnp4nagios, so people can see what's possible with each and find out about some of the cool community projects that are out there. You should see more about that in our newsletter and on Twitter soon. -- Tony Yarusso Technical Team ___ Nagios Enterprises, LLC Email: tyaru...@nagios.com Web:www.nagios.com -- Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.
