NagiosXI Implementation

[manimurugesan]

Hi Team,

1) What is the minimum Bandwidth link required for NagiosXI to perform smoothly. I understand that it depends on multiple things.
But, Still to start with what should we tell our client. The client has only RF/VAST 128 bandwidth link. Can you suggest the minimum Bandwidth Link required.


2) how much approx. bandwidth is used to pull one windows service information through agent.

3) Does NagiosXI has its own iphone/Android mobile App

1) What is the minimum Bandwidth link required for NagiosXI to perform smoothly. I understand that it depends on multiple things.

We don't have a minimum link required and it's impossible for us to give you a minimum because you can do many things to mitigate the link speed being an issue such as only using passive checks, increasing the timeouts (PHP, plugin, and/or nagios default timeouts), etc.

One thing that I would say is that if the link speed is really slow and you do not want to impact it during the checks (but only for the results) you would likely want to set them up as all passives and then only submit the results to Nagios.

I really depends on what your check plugin is returning, that output determines the size so it can be anything. Is your plugin parsing logs and returning all of the log entries returned? Is you plugin only returning a single integer? You can see how it's basically impossible for us to determine how much bandwidth you require. It depends on whether you are using an agent as well and what arguments you are passing to it. Are you passing a 3000 character SQL query? That impacts it as well.

2) how much approx. bandwidth is used to pull one windows service information through agent.

It depends on the plugin, protocol, and output returned, I'm unable to give you a estimate because we have no idea what you're checking. No matter what I say here the one you setup will likely differ. If you want to do some baseline testing, you should look at this KB article:

3) Does NagiosXI has its own iphone/Android mobile App

Not an official one, there are 3rd party alternatives listed on the exchange (and in their respective app stores) although I haven't personally tested them:
- I will note that a rewrite of the Nagiosmobile app (http://yourxiserver/nagiosmobile) is on the roadmap but I do not have an ETA at this time
