Supported Platforms and Software

By saying 'supported' we mean that assistance may be provided for issues encountered with software or hardware listed since we have carried out some level of testing. We cannot guarantee that no issues will be encountered.

Note: For all platforms, we build against the latest updates (including major fixes and security updates) on the respective operating systems. Therefore, we suggest your target platform also has the latest updates.

* The RHEL packages should also work on Scientific Linux without modification.

Current status of other OS platforms:

We will support Opsview running on the following virtualisation technologies in combination with certified OS / Linux Distribution.

• VMware Player (for evaluation only, not production systems)
• VMware Server
• VMware ESX
• Parallels (for evaluation only, not production systems)
• Xen Hypervisor
• KVM Hypervisor

This is dictated by our ability to test and diagnose problems.

Unless we state otherwise we recommend you use the latest packaged versions of this software available for your supported distribution of choice.

Opsview presents the administrative and status interface via a web server. Opsview is tested with the following web browsers:

Note: This is the last Opsview Community release in which we will support Internet Explorer 6.

We test on latest release / patch levels of these browsers and therefore issues may exist with earlier versions we're unaware of. We are planning to start testing against Internet Explorer 8 and Google Chrome in future a Opsview release.

The following Agents are officially available for Opsview. Any Nagios compatible agent should work with Opsview so don't be too concerned if a particular platform is not listed.

If your preferred distribution is not listed we recommend that you create a standard Nagios agent using NRPE.
