Nagios XI on Raspberry Pi

[Goobertek]

Is anyone running XI on a Raspberry Pi? I'd like to give it shot but really don't have the motivation to be the first one to try. It took me awhile to get Core running on the Pi. If I am correct if you use it at home just for fun it's free am I correct?

If anyone is doing it, do you have instructions?

Perhaps a "shake & bake" solution would be more to your taste (or an alternative you might find interesting)?

Although these ARM development boards may not be ideal for the amount of traffic generated by an organization, they can be a low-cost way to get started experimenting with electronics and computer science at home!
XI SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

People have certainly done this before! I see articles and videos posted across the internet on the subject.

I believe that the free version is limited to monitoring about seven hosts.

Nagios XI is available free of charge for monitoring small environments. Nagios XI installations with a free license are limited to monitoring up to seven (7) hosts (nodes) and up to 100 total host and service checks.

PRICING

The hardest part of setting up a Pi server on your network is finding it (usually using nmap), and then establishing an SSH connection. Once you have done that, you can install XI using the regular Linux install instructions.

Code: Select all

cd /tmp
wget https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/xi-latest.tar.gz
tar xzf xi-latest.tar.gz
cd nagiosxi
./fullinstall

XI INSTALL DOCUMENT

In my humble opinion, the Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and the like are geared more towards being breakout boards for integrating custom electronics into your system. You may want to host the XI application on a stationary, virtual server, use the Pi to plug in to a sensor, and then monitor that by installing an agent (like NCPA) on it. Just an idea!

*I am not totally positive that XI can be installed on ARM, but it looks like other people have done it.
