Enterprise Server and Network Monitoring Software
Comprehensive application, service, and network monitoring in a central solution.
- Nagios Enterprises releases its first commercial monitoring product, Nagios XI. Nagios wins the Linux Journal Reader’s Choice 2009 award for “Favorite Linux Monitoring Application”. Nagios is a finalist in the SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards 2009 for “Best Tool or Utility for SysAdmins”.
- Nagios XI imports our service check commands as “misc command”. In order to enable ack-back through the Nagios XI UI, the service check will have to be changed to a “check command”. Navigate to the Core Config Manager, and bring up the list of commands. Then click the little configure icon for the “checkvictoropscmds” command.
The Bottom Line. If flexibility and extensibility are what you're after in a network monitoring tool, then Nagios XI is the way to go. An easy agentless model and an unlimited number of targets.
Our knowledgeable techs can help you get up and running with Nagios XI fast. Let us help you deploy Nagios XI with a remote-assist or quickstart that’s designed to save you time and get you off on the right foot.Schedule Quickstart

The Nagios XI UI and system frameworks are released under a commercial license and contain some code used under license by Nagios Enterprises that cannot be released under an OSS license.

We think it means really great things for the long run. First, we’re dedicated to maintaining and developing Nagios Core for the long term. Ethan Galstad – original creator and “Father” of Nagios – is actively involved in the design and development of XI and knows that its long-term success depends on a solid foundation of proven, Open Source components like Nagios Core. We believe Nagios XI benefits the Open Source project by providing increased resources and further improvements in terms of scalability and extensibility. Nagios is more than just the OSS monitoring core – it’s an entire ecosystem of thousands of add-ons, extensions, and contributors worldwide. We will continue to further expand and contribute to the community as the result of our work with Nagios XI and our customers.
