Attention Savvy Admins: Are you an experienced Nagios admin? Although this Nagios XI Linux Agent only supports RHEL, Fedora, and CentOS at the moment, you can modify what we have to make it work on other Linux distros or *NIX boxes. The XI Linux agent is simply a combination of NRPE, the official Nagios Plugins, a few additional plugins, along with some specific NRPE configuration file options. There is already a separate Nagios XI Linux Agent available for Ubuntu and Debian, as described in another document on the library.
