 I'm not as familiar with XI as I'd like, but based on the demos and the
 docs, I think NSCA will do just fine. I believe the configuration would
 be exactly the same as with a normal Nagios Core install.

If you want to simply forward all of your results to a Nagios XI 
machine, you can define an OCSP command for all of your services and 
forward them along to the XI box.  Nagios XI has a feature in the 
Admin-Unconfigured Objects menu that allows you to automatically add 
passive hosts and services that are inbound.  Here are some docs with 
more details.

If you've got additional Nagios XI specific questions, go ahead and post 
them to our forum.

[Nagios-users] How to route data from multiple nagios core nodes to a nagiosxi node?

2011-11-08 Thread Benjamin
I have about ten nagios core machines that I currently monitor collectively
using MNTOS.  Is there a way to feed the data from my nagios core machines
to a nagiosXI machine that makes it possible to use the nagiosXI features
like the visualization/dashboards/reporting for the services/hosts being
monitored by the nagios core nodes?  I basically want to replace MNTOS w/ a
nagiosXI machine ‹ so that I can utilize its features as a dashboard and
reporting node for all the data I receive at each nagios core server.

Basically, I want to set up a hub and spoke w/ a nagiosXI machine at the hub
and all my nagios core boxes as spokes.
I looked into DNX but this looks like it distributes the checks in a
different way.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ben
