NagiosXI Demo in Amazon using NRDS for Remote Hosts

[Ratty25]

Apologies if this has been asked previously, but I have not been able to find an answer to date.

I have launched the NagiosXi appliance in Amazon EC2 successfully. I have configured an Elastic EC2 instance so the IP Address will not change after reboots. I am currently running it as a POC to see if it will be suitable for monitoring between 70 - 100 different customers on-premise servers.

I have configured NRDP & NSCA and have been able to create an NRDS Config and deploy the Windows Installer and install it on a Windows Server. My test site (customer) has a Proxy server that requires authentication to allow outbound http traffic to the Internet. They have opened up a route to allow NRDS Client to bypass the Proxy, but their preference is to not open up the route, but force NRDS to authenticate through the Proxy.

I have not been able to find any technical documentation on how to set this, even though it is mentioned. It is not an option in the NRDS Config Wizard.

Is this possible? I do have other customers who will have Servers that cannot access the Internet directly without going via a Proxy.

Cheers,

Shane.

Where did you see that NRDS was able to go through a proxy? To my knowledge this has never been possible.

And is it just HTTP traffic or is it dst port 80?
