Re: Monitoring of multiple machines remotely

Well, this is really a virtualised scenario all be it paravirtualised...also it is preferable to have some form of gateway solution like a form of 'Remote collector', as i have said before having multiple instances of the Nagios XI installed just is not practical and the fact that you have to do thi...

Re: Monitoring of multiple machines remotely

Well, i guess there is allways Spiceworks....lord forgive me for what i just said...lol. It is unfourtunate that Nagios through its development has missed an obviouss and essential element in play, remote monitoring.

Re: Monitoring of multiple machines remotely
