Changing IP address of Nagios XI server

Hi,

I'm planning to move our Nagios server to a different subnet thus the need to change its IP address.

Are there additional steps that needs to be done on Nagios XI aside from changing IP on the OS level?

Will there be impact on the license/activation if I will change the IP?


Regards,
Bryan

You would need to activate your new license.

https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... vation.pdf

Each Nagios XI license is approved for up to three installations: one primary monitoring/production, one backup/failover, and one test environment.
As long as you are only using one install for production monitoring, you are within the boundaries of our licensing policy.

If you eventually activate Nagios XI on three IP's and need to migrate one of them to a new IP, simply contact our sales department at [email protected]. They can typically offer additional installs.
