Re: Nagiosxi vs Nagios core
My humble opinion is both are right choices, but with that bunch of servers i would go for nagiosxi, seems to me support is higher/better

Re: Nagiosxi vs Nagios core
Here's a comparison: https://assets.nagios.com/handouts/nagi ... arison.pdf
I suspect the main reason support for XI seems better than Core is because we limit what people can do with XI. We also do this with our Core support contracts. We primarily support Linux, but people install Core on all sorts of things. More specifically, XI only installs on CentOS/RHEL, but Core can install on any Linux distro.
If you wanted to go with Core without a support contract, I would definitely suggest CentOS. We certainly do what we can when we see Core installs on other systems, but it's very clear we can offer better support for CentOS/RHEL than other distributions, simply because we see them much more often.
You can actually get commercial support for Core: https://www.nagios.com/services/nagios- ... ort-plans/eltrasimaco wrote:seems to me support is higher/better
