Nagios is comming up with a new non-free Version called NAGIOS XI
The prices are:
- Up to 50 nodes 595U$
- Up to 100 nodes 995U$
- Unlimited nodes 1,250U$
I think its sad to see such a amazing product become comercial, but the nagios core product will still be free. But I believe the developer team will be focus on the comercial version, wich is built on top of the nagios core (free) version, adding a really nice web interface and making it much easier to use.

Architecture Overview
Architecture is important both for scalability and longevity, and we didn’t take any shortcuts with design on Nagios XI. We designed XI to be flexible enough to meet a variety of customer’s needs, with both long-term growth and innovation in mind.
Nagios System Builders can leverage the XI architecture to their advantage, allowing them to deliver value-added solutions with the licensing flexibility they require.
Solid Open Source Core
We designed Nagios XI to take full advantage of the power of well-known, rock-solid Open Source components. With over ten years of experience in the OSS monitoring space, we know great stuff when we see it. There’s some serious power under the hood of Nagios XI, and our architecture allows you continue to access and modify low-level OSS components to meet your organization’s requirements.
Foundation Blocks
We built XI on a solid foundation of proven, core Open Source components, including:
- Nagios Core provides the primary monitoring and alerting engine
- NRPE and NSCA provide legacy inter-connects for remote monitoring and distributed monitoring
- NDOUtils provides a database backend for the monitoring engine
- PNP integration provides automatic, RRD-based performance and trending graphs
- NagiosQL provides the basis for our new monitoring engine configuration UI
