hello

we have an old version of nagios (2.10) with a lot of hosts and services (620 hosts and 5500 services)
I must to update nagios and so test nagiosXI (and buy it if ok)
i have installed it, no problem, but some question :

- i would like to test it with debian, solaris, redhat and aix serveur.
With the old agent nrpe, it doesn't communicate. So i search a new agent. Ok for rhel but nothing for other :(
Where can i find nrpe for debian and other ?

- i can migrate (with a script?) all hosts to the new nagiosxi ? or i must to do it manually :( :( :( ?
so i have some personal scripts to monitor special services. it is compatible ?

thank you
regards

Ubuntu/Debian Agent: http://assets.nagi ... _Agent.pdf
Right now we don't have a supported agent for Solaris or AIX, we're hoping to get some community help in the near future for that or develop one ourselves.

To Migrate Config Files from Nagios Core:

With an older version of Nagios core, there may be a few things that our prep script misses, but if you run into problems, we can help troubleshoot the import process.

Should be, new plugins can be installed in XI through the Admin->Manage Plugins page.
