Distributed Nagios Configuration
Posted: Wed May 11, 2011 1:33 pm
Hi All,
Here's my question...My company has multiple locations and are using VPN connections between those locations. We want to setup a distributed Nagios server configuration because we currently have just one server that is doing all the work and we have 255 hosts totalling 1620 services being monitored. We have one main office and multiple smaller offices. The goal is to have one site that centrally displays all reported data but have the work distributed so that each server only monitors its location so that there is no cross traffic other than a summary being sent to the main server. I have done some research and have found a list of options, but I wanted to see what the best way of doing this was...
Here's some of the methods I found...
DNX
Nagios Fusion
MNTOS
NRPE
NDOUtils
NSCA
