Integration Pack for Nagios XI
The Kelverion Integration Pack for Nagios XI connects enterprise infrastructure monitoring with proven IT process automation, helping operations teams detect issues, trigger runbooks, acknowledge alerts, schedule downtime, and streamline incident response from within Orchestrator.
Nagios XI is an enterprise-grade IT infrastructure monitoring and alerting platform designed to help organisations monitor the availability, health, and performance of servers, networks, applications, databases, cloud workloads, and critical services. Built on the proven Nagios monitoring engine, it provides real-time visibility, custom dashboards, reporting, alerting, capacity planning, and extensibility through plugins and integrations.
For IT operations teams, Nagios XI acts as a central monitoring system that identifies changes in host and service state, raises notifications when thresholds are breached, and provides the operational insight needed to reduce downtime and respond faster to infrastructure issues.

Typical Automation Scenarios
Monitor Nagios XI for new alerts, collect host and service status, retrieve log entries, and run first-level diagnostic checks before escalating to an engineer
Create or update service desk tickets with Nagios XI alert details, affected host or service information, state history, and diagnostic results
Automatically acknowledge Nagios XI problems when an Orchestrator runbook has accepted ownership or opened an incident
Schedule downtime in Nagios XI as part of a change management or maintenance runbook, then remove or update downtime as work progresses
Feed Nagios XI monitoring events into wider event management, ITSM, or reporting processes to create a single pane of glass for operations
Detect a service issue, run a remediation action, re-check service status, update the incident, and record the outcome automatically
