Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

I just installed the free trial of NagiosXI and was trying to setup a new host to monitor using "Monitoring Wizard". Step one shows Website, Website Transaction, Windows Desktop, Windows Servers, etc., but nothing for Linux. So, how do I create a new Linux host to be monitored if it's missing from the wizard?

I followed the steps from this post: http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=92

...but I get the following error when uploading the linux-server.zip file:

Wizard installation failed.

If I am supposed to unzip this file, what am I supposed to upload from the zip?

STILLLLLLL WAITINGGGGG...no call, email, post????...what the heck??

I noticed that linux was missing as well. I was going to manually add them in but I have been watching your thread hoping hoping someone would answer.

The only interaction on this thread has been you and I. I am very, very disappointed

What about this post? Does anyone have an answer for this one?

Sorry that linux-servers are not functional on the free trial addition, our development focus is else where.

The closest you can get is with generic network dev. But thats only shows ping.
It sucks that Linux wizard doesnt come with the trial. Are their more things then that?
Like more reports and dashlets. I hope theres more reports because right now, im not so mutch impressed...

Here are the issues corrected, but not yet released.

• Core config manager shifts empty ARGx macros forwards.
  Core config manager nags user about empty ARGx macros and possible missing host/service variables.
  Switch configuration wizard doesn't allow port name overrides.

Things that we are aware of that don't work.

• Login fails on IE8.
  Monitoring HTTPS service is not intuitively obvious with the current Wizard.

There are several other issues I'm aware of that are not yet documented.

So, I have to spend $1,300 to see if this will meet my needs on Linux?...and if it doesn't?
