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.

Enabling Out-Of-Band (OOB) SMS Notifications In Nagios With The Multi-Tech iSMS

By Ethan Galstad on January 23, 2012


We’ve had a number of requests from customers that need SMS notification capabilities in Nagios XI. SMS provides a method for sending out-of-band (OOB) notifications over the cellphone network, thereby increasing the reliability and dependability of receiving critical alerts and notifications. This can be especially helpful if you need to receive alerts from your Nagios server in your data center when your Internet connection fails.

To facilitate reliable SMS notifications, we integrated the Multi-Tech iSMS GSM modem with Nagios XI. You can find the integration documentation and component at the links below:
