    Nagios XI Nagios XI Ports and Protocols

    Purpose
    This documentation provides you with a listing of the most common ports and protocols used
    in conjunction with Nagios XI.

    Target Audience
    This document is intended to provide Nagios Network Administrators with the port and protocol information
    that they need to properly configure servers for use with Nagios XI.

    Overview
    Important Notes
    • While there are a set of basic default ports for Nagios XI, keep in mind that Nagios XI is highly
    configurable, and an administrator may use non-default ports should they so choose.
    • There are thousands of community-provided Nagios plugins which may use any port to send or receive
    data. Administrators are advised to be aware of the port requirements in their environment.

    Protocols
    HTTP(s), ports 80 and 443 The Nagios XI product interfaces are web-
    based. Additionally, many of the Nagios agents
    are able to use HTTP to move data. SSL is not
    turned on out of the box.
    SNMP, ports 161 and 162 SNMP is an integral part of network monitoring.
    Nagios XI will send requests to nodes on port
    161 and receive results and traps on 162.
    SSH, port 22 Nagios is built to run natively on supported
    Linux distributions. While nearly all
    administration can be done through the web
    interface, administrators may from time to time
    wish to log in.
