Centos8 being discontinued - future for Nagios xi?

Post by krista611 »

In light of the news that Centos8 will be discontinued at the end of 2021, will a different operating system be used for the nagios .ova templates? Is there a plan or recommendation to change existing systems away from Centos?

Hi @krista611,

That's a great question and honestly, we haven't made an official decision on the OVA yet. We do officially support Ubuntu 20.04 for Nagios xi, so that's a good choice for new xi deployment.

Hope that helps and let me know if you have any other questions.
