Wanting to learn Nagios xi

Post by jaisanmeal4 »

I am a student and want to learn how to use Nagios xi so I can better prepare for the industry. Most of the books that I have seen are from back in 2013 and don't mention version xi. Can anyone recommend a book for the current version or perhaps a YouTube or Udemy lesson for me to learn how to use this? I would like to become proficient for an entry level enterprise position.

Hi,

Fantastic! Indeed most of the books out there are for Nagios Core, and if you really want to become advanced at Nagiso xi, they can help but we have other resources available to help you learn.

To get started, we have a free version available of Nagios xi for under 100 checks. This is perfect for setting up monitoring your home environment.

To start learning and setting up monitoring, check out the User Guide in the UI, go to Help > Documentation Guides. I would recommend using the NCPA to setup checks on any devices such as PC's or servers. The configuration wizard makes this super easy.

We also have tons of helpful videos on oue youtube channel and more howtos on the knowledgebase.

Let me know if you need help getting xi installed and up and running.Glad to have you in the community!
