Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

I have NagiosXI running in an AWS environment.

As part of the AWS configuration, I set which outbound and inbound ports are open on the AWS server.

I currently have all inbound ports open (i.e. all 64000+), which is not very secure. Please could you let me know which inbound ports need to be open for NagiosXI, or is there a range of ports that I should keep open.

FYI - All outbound ports in AWS server are open, but this is okay for me


Regards,
Nelson

Inbound really only needs 80 or 443, depending on whether you have SSL enabled or not. Beyond that, 5667 if you have NSCA running for receiving passive results that way, but I would recommend NRDP over NSCA as it uses HTTP ports.
