Starting with Nagios
Re: Starting with Nagios
Nagios XI is going to be the best place to start: https://www.nagios.com/products/nagios-xi/
It can monitor just about anything you need to, with some configuration.

Re: Starting with Nagios
In addition to what @tmcdonald said, we don't really have enough information and this likely needs to be multiple forum posts. For example, if you are looking for help with Windows and Linux servers, that should be two different posts.
Are you looking for something open source? If so, here is the manual: https://library.nagios.com/library/prod ... e/manuals/
You posted in the XI forums, so I'm not sure if you are already using XI, and you are looking for plugins or if you are asking about the differences between Core and XI. If you are using XI, here is the manual: https://library.nagios.com/library/prod ... i/manuals/
On what OS/version is nagios running? cat /etc/*-release may be of use. XI will only run on CentOS or RHEL 6/7, but Core should compile on a variety of operating systems.
If you are using XI, can you PM me your Profile? You can download it by going to Admin > System Config > System Profile and click the Download Profile button towards the top. If for whatever reason you *cannot* download the profile, please put the output of View System Info (5.3.4+, Show Profile if older) in the thread (that will at least get us some info). This will give us access to many of the logs we would otherwise ask for individually. If security is a concern, you can unzip the profile take out what you like, and then zip it up again. We may end up needing something you remove, but we can ask for that specifically.
After you PM the profile, please update this thread. Updating this thread is the only way for it to show back up on our dashboard.

Re: Starting with Nagios
Here's the manual for Core: https://library.nagios.com/library/prod ... e/manuals/
Physical servers could mean many things, and probably needs to be broken down into different posts based on OS.
We would need to know what type of virtualization software you are using, and should be in a separate forum thread.
Network devices are likely going to be SNMP, but if you give us some types of network devices, we may be able to point you to more specific plugins on the exchange.

Re: Starting with Nagios
The first set of instructions in our compile document is for RHEL. Be sure to use the instructions for 7, not 5 or 6: https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=96
There aren't likely to be pre-builds for RHEL since RHEL has licenses, but there may be something at https://solutionexchange.vmware.com/sto ... _groups/19
There are some screenshots at https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... n/toc.html (this is the first link from the manual page I already sent you).
