XorMon NG Software – Advanced Full-Stack Monitoring with New Backup, Database, and Storage Support

Managing virtualization platforms, storage systems, backup solutions, and servers through separate dashboards can quickly become inefficient and difficult to maintain. Tools that promise visibility often add complexity instead of reducing it. This is why many IT teams turn to XorMon NG, a platform designed to consolidate infrastructure monitoring into a single, unified interface.

With the release of XorMon NG 2.1.0, the platform continues to mature, introducing broader technology support, smarter automation, and improved operational insight for modern enterprise environments.

What is XorMon NG?

XorMon NG is an open-source infrastructure monitoring solution that brings servers, virtualization platforms, storage arrays, databases, networks, and backup systems together into one dashboard. The platform supports environments built on technologies such as VMware, Proxmox VE, Nutanix, and IBM Power Systems, along with hardware from major storage and networking vendors.

The system primarily collects metrics agentlessly, though lightweight agents can be deployed where deeper visibility is required. It delivers real-time performance monitoring, topology mapping, predictive analytics, and customizable reports to help teams identify bottlenecks before they escalate into outages. Integration with Grafana and REST API access further enable automation and hybrid deployment workflows.

What’s New in XorMon NG 2.1.0

Version 2.1.0 focuses on expanding monitoring coverage while refining performance insights and usability.

Support has been added for additional enterprise technologies, including monitoring for Commvault Backup and Recovery infrastructures alongside solutions like Veeam Backup & Replication. The release also introduces monitoring for MongoDB environments and improves visibility into OpenZFS storage systems. Tape library monitoring has also been added, supporting organizations that still rely on archival storage workflows.

On the platform side, enhancements improve monitoring across cloud, container, and virtualization environments. Administrators can now gain better insight into workloads running inside Kubernetes clusters and Red Hat OpenShift deployments. Troubleshooting has also been improved through enhanced logging and alerting for telemetry gaps, ensuring that data-collection issues are detected early.

Storage visibility has also been strengthened, with improved snapshot tracking, refined SAN monitoring stability, and better performance optimization for large storage clusters. Network monitoring has likewise been streamlined to reduce backend queries and improve dashboard responsiveness.

Platform Improvements and New Capabilities

Beyond technology support, version 2.1.0 introduces several platform-wide improvements. Integration with configuration management databases enables better asset tracking, while a mobile-optimized interface makes it easier to monitor environments remotely. Capacity dashboards provide quick insight into resource usage, and new audit logging improves compliance and security tracking.

The platform also now includes built-in self-health monitoring to track the state of XorMon itself. Early AI-related enhancements, including support for Model Context Protocol servers, signal the project’s move toward more intelligent automation and analysis.

Why This Matters for Virtualization Teams

For administrators managing infrastructures built on platforms like VMware, Proxmox, Nutanix, or Microsoft Hyper-V, XorMon NG reduces the need to jump between monitoring tools. Instead of correlating events manually, teams can see relationships across compute, storage, and backup systems in a single view.

This unified visibility makes it easier to trace problems to their root cause — whether it’s a VM snapshot consuming storage unexpectedly or a backup job saturating network bandwidth. With predictive alerts and agentless scalability, the platform helps teams move from reactive troubleshooting to proactive optimization.

Availability and Deployment Options

XorMon NG 2.1.0 is available in multiple deployment formats, including archive packages, Docker containers, and virtualization-ready images. The platform includes a two-month Enterprise trial period, after which it continues in a free edition with core monitoring capabilities. A demo environment is also available for teams who want to evaluate the platform before deployment.

XorMon is open source software.

XorMon NG is released under the GPL v3 license and is free to download and use forever. The free version has limitations such as supporting up to 2 vCenters and 8 storage devices and basic alerts, but it is very useful for small environments. For unlimited use of devices and advanced features such as full alerting, Grafana integration and advanced topology, you can purchase the Enterprise version through a support plan from XORUX or its partners.

Final words

XorMon NG version 2.1.0 is another powerful release from XORUX, further enhancing the value of the platform by adding support for Commvault and MongoDB, as well as improving the user interface and performance. If you are tired of managing multiple monitoring tools in your virtualization environment, this free and open source solution can transform the way you monitor.
