Nagios Support Forum

Hello all
Can smbd tell me about difference in main config between Nagios Core and Nagios XI ?
I'm going to test the Nagios system, and the main testing point is hosts/services configuration and notifications configuration. So can you tell me completly is there any difference in the algorithms of this in Core&XI ?

Tiger777,

NagiosXI uses Nagios Core config files. There is no difference in how the config files look between implementations.

The big difference with NagiosXI is all of the configurations are stored in a database, and then when configurations are applied, NagiosXI will write the configs from the database to flat config files. Essentially, NagiosXI will write the config files for you.
