We need to advise our client on Nagios XI installation either on Cent OS or RHEL

We would like to know the advantages/disadvantages on choosing anyone of these 2 Linux distros, apart from the fact Cent OS would be cheaper.

Please advise. We need this information asap please.

Rgds,

Nagios does not have an "official" stance on RHEL vs CentOs - either OS is fine. Just be sure they are a clean, minimal install - that is very important. Below is a link to the manual install instructions. Although the doc says RHEL 5 is supported, I would stay away from that version and stick with either RHEL 6 or 7.

Certainly let us know if there is any more info we can provide.
