Nagios on Ubuntu

Post by jbmaliwat »

Does the Nagios XI can be installed in Ubuntu as a Nagios Server? :?:

No, the actual Nagios XI server cannot be installed on Ubuntu, Nagios XI can monitor Ubuntu machines but it is not supported to run Nagios XI on one.

Why there is a documentation, which states Nagios User Guide, covers installation process of Nagios on Ubuntu Operating System.
Please see attached file.

That is true. And that documentation is for Nagios Core. I figured since you were posting in the Nagios XI forums, you were asking about that. But yes, you are right, Nagios Core can be installed on Ubuntu, but Nagios XI cannot.

The posted guide explains how to install the Nagios Core on Ubuntu. It is not about Nagios XI.

nscott is right - Ubuntu is not a supported distribution.

The only supported distributions (at this time) are: 32 and 64-bit CentOS 5 (recommended) and RHEL 5.

I see. Thank you, I thought that it was for Nagios XI enterprise. Because there is no statement that states it is for Nagios core only.
