Nagios on an external server
Nagios on an external server
Is it possible to install and configure Nagios on an external server (Amazon, for example) and monitoring my internal network (LAN)?

Hi @douglas,
Yes you can. You'll need to install Nagios Core on a CentOS or other linux system, and then install a monitoring agent, such as NCPA, on the hosts you'd like to monitor on the LAN.

Also, Nagios XI is free for small environments - up to 7 hosts.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Is it possible through a VPN?

Hi @douglas,
You can also monitor without the installation of an agent using SNMP, SSH or WMI. But yes, as long as Nagios has a network connection to the remote hosts.
