That guide you used is just for the Linux monitoring agent, it is not for installing Nagios XI.

If it is Nagios XI you want to install, then 1st use a supported OS (as lmiltchev described earlier) then refer to this doc:

so,

After I install on my ubuntu machine, the below are the last lines that the terminal shows
################################################################################
### ###
### NRPE is currently set to allow connections only from these IP addresses: ###
### ###
### 127.0.0.1 ###
### ###
### If you would like to change this list, enter all IP addresses to allow, ###
### separated by spaces only, and then press Enter. ###
### (Put the address(es) of your Nagios XI servers(s) here.) ###
### ###
################################################################################

Allow from: 172.25.128.3

Subcomponents installed OK
RESULT=0

##########################################################
### ###
### Nagios XI Linux Agent Installation Complete! ###
### ###
##########################################################



and as of now I do not have access to the "172.25.128.3"

so I have the following questions:

1. could I not monitor this Ubuntu system using the web interface
2. and how do I login to the web interface

when I type "http://127.0.0.1/nagiosxi" in the url I get "The site can't be reached"

please advice on how to proceed

regards

Hi lmiltchev,

I just carefully read your post and I now understand that nagios XI is not supported for ubuntu

that' the point I missed.

so having taken that, though I installed the NRPE agent , I would not be able to monitor anything as my server is not installed yet.

so I will have to get back to my first post in this section and get onto installing nagios XI on the CentOS which runs on a vagrant on windows machine

thank you so much

regards
