Red Hat 7 or Red Hat 8

Post by SteveBeauchemin »

Which OS should I use for an new Nagios setups?

Since CentOS 8 is going to be changed to something else in the future other than what it used to be, which OS should we use going forward?

Which OS supports all the addons. Like NagVis, Livestatus, Mod_Gearman.

What are the recommendations?

Thanks

For compatibility I'd go with EL7 at this time just because some 3rd party plugins/components haven't been updated to support EL8 yet and the developers of those things would need to update them for them to work.
