CentOS 6 for Nagios XI Cloud Monitoring

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 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.
