How easy to setup is Nagios XI?

I crashed Nagios core yesterday when I mved a router.cfg file to a folder and it deleted instead of moving.

IT is a setup that I inherited that was running well until this happened yesterday.

I am extremely frustrated trying to get my Nagios to run again.

For how many servers Devices is Nagios XI free?

I am considering scrapping Nagios core because I can't afford to be down and looking for easier gui to use.

Can I get free support for Nagios XI even without a support contract here?

Is it better to wipe and reinstall latest version of Opensuse first?

Dead simple, download tarball to a CentOS or RHEL system, extract, run ./fullinstall

You can for the free version in General support, for more that 7 nodes, support is included in the license.

XI must be run on CentOS or RHEL, so I would wipe the Opensuse and install either of them..
