Welcome to the Nagios Library

The Nagios Library serves as a central knowledge place for tutorials, videos, tech tips, and best practice information on Nagios.

Access to some portions of the Nagios Library content is granted only to current Nagios customers. You'll gain access to member-only material when you purchase Nagios XI or a Nagios Core support plan.

The Nagios Library is the official distribution point for Nagios XI product downloads, technical documentation and tutorials. Visit the Nagios XI Section

• Using DNX With Nagios

  This document describes how to integrate the DNX (Distributed Nagios eXecutor) load-balancing addon with Nagios Core and Nagios XI. DNX helps address the problems of scalability and complexity of traditional distributed Naigos setups by using an architecture of a single central node and several worker nodes.

• Monitoring Websites With Nagios XI

  This document describes how to monitor websites effectively with Nagios XI.  Website monitoring includes HTTP response validity, DNS resolution, IP address match, website content, SSL certificates, and web transactions.

• Nagios XI Backend API Example Code

  If you'd like to integrate host/status information from Nagios XI into a public portal or display of some kind, you'll likely be interested in our example backend API access code.

• Installing The Nagios Ubuntu and Debian Linux Agent

  This document describes how to install the Linux monitoring agent on target Ubuntu and Debian servers (including Ubuntu variants such as Kubuntu and Edubuntu).  This Ubuntu/Debian family version offers an easy way to install the agent using your distribution's package management system.  These steps will likely also work with little to no modification on other related distributions, such as CrunchBang, easypeasy, gNewSense, Xandros, MEPIS, Mint, Knoppix, Baltix, Guadalinux, eBox, Untangle, and Vyatta.

• Nagios Core Documentation Coming Soon

  Nagios Core documentation will be coming to the Nagios Library soon - stay tuned!
