Nagios Remote Data Sender
, or NRDS is a component installed on a Nagios XI server that allows the administrator to create and manage configurations and plugins to be deployed with a passive agent that can be installed on a variety of operating systems. The passive agents downloads the current configuration and the required plugin from the Nagios XI server and run the checks and posting the results to the XI server.

We have now released a CentOS 6 version of Nagios XI in the Amazon Ec2 for cloud monitoring. The new release is build on the x86_64 architecture and will be the standard for future builds.
In case you missed the announcement from Amazon, all instance sized can now be spun up with 64 bit images. This is a great step forward as it allows someone to start with a small instance at a much reduced price and as they grow they can take their same snapshot an start it up on a much larger system.
More information about running your Nagios XI system in the cloud can be found in our Nagios on Ec2 article in the Nagios Exchange.
The
latest Nagios XI – Amazon Ec2 cloud images have been pushed out to the following additional location:
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.
Additional documentation on using the Amazon cloud images for your Nagios XI deployment may be found on the Exchange.
