If you want to simply forward all of your results to a Nagios XI 
machine, you can define an OCSP command for all of your services and 
forward them along to the XI box.  Nagios XI has a feature in the 
Admin->Unconfigured Objects menu that allows you to automatically add 
passive hosts and services that are inbound.  Here are some docs with 
more details.

If you've got additional Nagios XI specific questions, go ahead and post 
them to our forum.
