Hi,

We are looking to monitor multiple nagios core servers and for this can you please let us know any doc or tutorial.

Any separate license need to be purchased to use the feature, please let us know

What is the final goal that you would like to achieve? Are you thinking active checks or passive checks? You can use Nagios Fusion and have all of your Core servers "at a glance".

The thing is we are trying to use Nagios XI as master and all other nagios servers (core or XI ) as slaves to get the active checks data in master dashboard.

Nagios Fusion does need any license, we have already licensed Nagios XI Enterprise edition will that be sufficient to use Nagios Fusion also ?

Nagios Fusion does require a license:

As far as a distributed setup goes, I would look at this post, particularly scottwilkerson's post:

Hi,

I have configured as listed by scottwilkerson in "No Outbound Check Transfer..." post.

Will all the hosts defined in Nagios Core gets reflected in Nagios XI master ?

How do i check the same in Nagios XI master ?

Once you have done this they should sow up in unconfigured objects under Admin section on the Master.

You would then add them and they will show in the UI.

Will the hosts reflect automatically or should we schedule any cron job for the same. Since there are no unconfigured hosts in Nagios XI master.

After you made the changes from the "No Outbound Check Transfer..." post to your Nagios Core servers, did you restart Nagios on them?

This leads me to believe that something is not correct in the setup of the Core machines based on the post you followed. because the XI server isn't getting the results.

Can you access the NRDP interface to the XI machine via curl from the Core machines terminal

e.g.

Code: Select all

curl http://XI_SERVER_IP/nrdp/?cmd=hello
