How to Clone a Host Along With Its Services in Nagios XI

Many customers, especially the ones running large environments, have been asking us what is the best way to clone a host along with its services. We have a great tool called “Bulk Host Import Wizard” which does just that.

You can learn more about this wizard by reading our “Nagios XI – Bulk Host Import Usage” document, posted on the Nagios Library.

You can download the wizard from the Nagios Exchange by following this link.

Nagios XI Hypermap Component – version 1.1 released

Some customers requested a change in the way hypermap is shown on the screen in Nagios XI. It used to be shifted to the left, so we fixed this issue in the new version (1.1) of the Nagios XI Hypermap Component. Now the hypermap is placed in the center of the screen. It look great! Give it a try!

You can download the new version from the Nagios Library – Nagios XI Customer Downloads section.
