Nagios XI
Nagios XI is a commercial enterprise IT infrastructure and network monitoring software built on top of the open-source Nagios Core engine. It provides centralized real-time visibility across servers, networks, applications, log files, and virtualized environments. Featuring web-based configuration wizards, customizable dashboards, capacity planning, and incident alerting, Nagios XI enables IT teams to identify bottlenecks and prevent downtime across hybrid cloud environments.
What it does
Monitors network devices, Windows and Linux servers, cloud workloads, and critical application services. Delivers configurable web dashboards, automated network topology maps, and interactive performance graphs. Sends automated multi-channel alerts via email, SMS, and webhooks upon detecting performance degradation. Forecasts future resource utilization and capacity bottlenecks using historical trend analysis algorithms.
Why it works
Extensive plugin architecture provides access to thousands of community and official add-ons. Web-based GUI configuration wizards simplify setup without manually editing complex configuration files. Perpetual enterprise licensing model offers predictable costs compared to subscription-only SaaS monitors. On-premises deployment guarantees data sovereignty and strict compliance with corporate security policies.

Founder story

To deliver enterprise-grade support, graphical web management, and commercial capabilities, Galstad founded Nagios Enterprises in 2007 in St. Paul, Minnesota. The company launched Nagios XI to provide large organizations with commercial dashboards, automated wizards, and scalable infrastructure monitoring.
