Case Study: Amman Stock Exchange achieves comprehensive, customized IT monitoring and improved trading resilience with Nagios XI

ASE Streamlines IT Environments By Switching to Nagios XI

The Amman Stock Exchange (ASE), Jordan’s regulated securities market operator, needed a secure, robust monitoring solution to support trading across three data centers with active/active replication and N+1 redundancy. ASE had been using several open-source tools (including Nagios Core) but faced growing complexity, heavy manual command-line configuration, and the risk of human error, so the organization selected Nagios XI from Nagios for a supported, customizable monitoring platform.

Nagios implemented Nagios XI with NRPE/NCPA agents, Ansible-driven node configuration, SMS alerting, dashboards and countless plugins to centralize monitoring of servers, networks, applications and device ports. ASE grew from 200 Nagios XI nodes monitoring ~2,000 services to 300 nodes covering ~4,000 services, gaining real-time visibility, proactive alerts, faster troubleshooting and reduced manual effort — materially improving reliability and control of its trading infrastructure.
