Nagios XI Full Installer
========================

This script will do a complete install of Nagios XI by executing all necessary
sub-scripts.

IMPORTANT: This script should only be used on a 'clean' install of CentOS or
RedHat. Do NOT use this on a system that has been tasked with other purposes
or has an existing install of Nagios Core. To create such a clean install
you should have selected ONLY the 'Base' package in the OS installer.
