Nagios XI Cloud Images Now In Europe

By Scott Wilkerson on February 13, 2012

The Nagios XI ec2 cloud image is now available in the following regions in 32 and 64 bit versions:

US East (Virginia)
US West (N. California)
EU West (Ireland)

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.

Using FTP in Nagios to deploy NSClient++

By Ludmil Miltchev on February 9, 2012

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.

Managing Remote Nagios XI Servers

By Ethan Galstad on January 24, 2012

Managing a Nagios XI server is an important requirement to ensure that the monitoring server can be configured to meet organizational needs and that application updates (patches and upgrades) can be applied. Nagios XI servers that are placed on remote networks often requires that an administrator configures firewalls and routers to allow access to management features.

We wrote a short document that describes the requirements for and methods of managing remote Nagios XI servers. To learn more, read the document on Nagios Exchange.
