Can you share any documentation you are following? Nagios Core is only meant to be installed on Linux based systems.

Or if you are having troubles installing Nagios Core on a 64-bit Virtual Machine, you might check your motherboard's BIOS setting specific to virtualization.

Nagios runs on Linux systems.

It is possible to run Nagios in a virtual machine on a Windows system using something like VMWare, but you would need to have the virtual machine hypervisor already.

Yes, you can use Linux Mint for Nagios Core.

After that i tried to connect nagios XI with solarwinds.My intention is , nagios XI should send alert to solarwinds as syslog.

So its my question, is it possible to do above mentioned configuration..? kindly help me if someone can.It will be a graceful for me

Thank You

You'd probably need to write a custom event handler for that. The work would be non-trivial if you're not already well acquainted with Nagios concepts and objects.

If you want SolarWinds to capture the entire Nagios log and handle the parsing within SolarWinds, you can typically find the main Nagios log file here:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log
At which point, you'd just configure rsyslog to ship that file to SolarWinds and that would be the end of things from the Nagios machine's perspective.

Hello Vipin MS, Did you install Nagios Core or Nagios XI Trial?

The supported operating systems for Nagios XI are CentOS 6/7 and RHEL 6/7.
