Looking at nagios as a solarwinds replacement, need advice

[yerkopil8]

Hi all,

I'm looking to replace our solarwinds implementation with Nagios for a few reasons. The problem I'm running into is all the options and legacy documentation. I'm currently eyeballing Nagios Core, running NRDP, and NCPA. Is this a typical setup? I've been bounced between NRPE and NSCA, then I learn that NCPA is a thing. I'm just trying to find the bottom of the worm hole for planning before I do any further work on implementation.

So I guess the question is, if you were to roll out a Nagios Core installation today, how would you do it?

Also, anybody have experience with Nagios XI vs Nagios Core?

I'd recommend going with NCPA. NRPE is great and served well for many years, but it is depreciated - https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nrpe.
