We have numerous MSPs (Managed Service Providers) and organizations using Nagios XI that like the idea of being able to customize the landing page (aka the “home page”) that users see when they login to the Nagios XI interface.
We thought this would be an extremely useful addon for Nagios XI, so we built a new homepage modification component that can accomplish just that!

We’ve had a lot of folks ask about Nagios’ capability of monitoring Microsoft Exchange servers. There are a number of plugins that have been capable of doing so for a while now, but our customers wanted something easier. Thus, we decided to create a nice Exchange server monitoring wizard.
We’ve tested the wizard with Exchange Server 2010. If you’ve got an older version of Exchange, give it a try and let us know how it works for you!
We’ve had a few users request the use of the “action_ur”l and” notes_url” config options to be accessible from the XI details screen. Nothing terribly fancy with this component, just another option for those users who need it. As Nagios developers, we love feedback, and we love to know what you guys need from our software, so keep the suggestions coming!
There has been large demand for MSSQL monitoring wizards and we just kicked out some MSSQL wizards and would love some feedback on how they are working.
With a project that started last December by translating comments from German, I’m relieved to see this project reach a stage where I feel comfortable showing the public. Nagios CCM (Core Config Manager) is a forked revision of the project NagiosQL 3.0 by Martin Willisegger. The code underneath dramatically overhauls the front-end logic, strives to improve X-browser compatibility, and ultimately paves the way for easier maintenance and improvements down the road. The database structure and underlying classes remain the same as the NagiosQL project, but the front-end has been entirely rebuilt, and the client side interactions are rewritten in JQuery in hopes to make community developments easier. Currently the Nagios CCM Beta only works on an XI install, but we’re hoping to release a community version that will work on Core installs later this year. New features in the Nagios CCM include:
Although the Nagios CCM is far from finished, we wanted to give users a chance to check things out and get a feel for where this project will be headed.
If you’re a Nagios XI user, and you want to test out the CCM on your test environment, you can install the latest revision of the CCM with the following instructions.
Install Instructions: cd /tmp wget http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/exchange/nagiosccm/CCM.tar.gz tar zxf CCM.tar.gz ./install-CCM.sh
Access the new CCM Beta from the Nagios XI->Configure->Nagios CCM BETA (link).
Due to a number of customer requests, we got busy working on the development of monitoring wizards for Postgres database server. We just released three new wizards for complete monitoring of Postgres. You can find them on Nagios Exchange:
Enjoy!
