Is Nagios xi 1.7 stable?

Post by kim9988 »

Hi there,
Is somebody using Nagios xi 1.7? I heard that 1.7 is not stable yet that so many errors occur. Should i upgrade to 1.7?

Nagios xi 1.7 is the latest release and as such may have bugs. If you're running a productions environment I would definitely install Nagios xi in a test environment first, as even installing something marked STABLE in a production environment without testing it would be considered unwise.

That being said, we've had 1.7 running here at the office for a while and have not noticed any major issues. If what you have installed is working for you then stick with it, however if you noticed something in the changelog than download the VM, run it in VMplayer on an unused computer somehwere, add a couple hosts and let it run for a week or two just to make sure its going to be stable enough for you.
