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.
The latest Amazon Ec2 cloud images have been pushed out to the following additional locations:
The Nagios XI cloud images are an excellent opportunity to try Nagios XI without having the upfront expense of dedicated hardware and can be upgraded with virtually zero downtime.
The Nagios XI ec2 cloud image is now available in the following regions in 32 and 64 bit versions:
Additionally, the new version will automatically install the latest Nagios XI when if is first booted. This will eliminate the need to change AMI ID’s when new version come out. While it is convenient to not have to lookup the AMI ID, please be aware when you first start your instance the current version of Nagios XI is installed and compiled at boot. This will take at least 15 minutes before the instance will become available. The amount of time will depend on the instance size you create.
Another change was made to meet Amazon security guidelines and now all instances have an ec2-user account to be used for ssh access. This user has full sudo access and will login with a key pair as usual.
Additional documentation on using the Amazon cloud images for your Nagios XI deployment may be found on the Exchange.
Many customers showed interest in deploying NSClient++ to multiple machines across a windows domain, without the need to log in remotely or be physically present on these machines.
If you are using Nagios to monitor a windows environment, you can use FTP as a component to deploying NSClient++. We just posted a document on the Nagios Library, which explains how to configure FTP for Nagios. You can review it here.
Additional information on deploying NSClient++ via FTP in Nagios will be available soon.
