Nagios Fusion

One view across every Nagios server in the organization

Nagios Fusion collects status and performance data from several Nagios monitoring servers into a single interface. It works with Nagios XI, Nagios Core, Nagios Log Server and Nagios Network Analyzer, giving operations staff and managers a quick visual sign of trouble anywhere in the infrastructure. The vendor calls it a single pane of glass and says setup takes about thirty minutes.

Central oversight, local ownership

Teams in separate locations can manage their own monitoring servers while central operations staff reach all of them. Remote servers need only to be reachable over HTTP or HTTPS, which removes the need for dedicated VPN links and custom firewall rules. Managed service providers use the same arrangement to keep an eye on servers installed at client sites without the burden of a permanent VPN. A global view makes it easy to see when a remote server has failed and to start failover.

Scaling

Monitoring and graphing work is spread over the remote servers, so a growing environment can add capacity without raising the work at the central node. Fusion reduces complicated configuration, data transfer problems and the need to maintain changes on both central and distributed nodes.

Features

• A dashboard with a high-level picture of distributed environments.
• Central management of monitoring servers wherever they are.
• Single credential entry, so users reach all their servers from within Fusion.
• Customizable views showing top alert producers, recent alerts, incidents and custom server metrics on a rotating panel.
• Integration with Nagios Log Server, to see the whole Nagios family in one place.
• Multi-tenancy for user management across IT teams.
• Control of system settings, including polling frequency, to improve bandwidth use.

Licensing, support and requirements

Fusion is licensed once per deployment, with no limit on the number of Core or XI instances it connects. Annual maintenance and support plans are optional, and the first year is included with a first purchase, covering upgrades, up to ten support tickets and a customer forum. Email and phone support contracts can be added. It ships as a virtual machine, and manual installation is possible on supported Linux systems including Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL, Oracle Linux and CentOS Stream. A thirty-day trial is offered.
