Nagios Core Performance Graphs on Nagios XI

[comfone]

Hi All
We are using Nagios XI 5.2.3 as our main Monitoring and Alarming Tool.
On a branch office we are using Nagios Core 3.5.1 and sending the notification via NRDP to our "central" Nagios XI.
That works like a charm
The Problem is now, how to present/display the Performance Graphs on Nagios XI from the Servers monitored by Nagios Core on our branch office.
Any suggestion?
Thank you in advance for any advice.

Is the goal here to:

A.) Use Core as a remote worker?
B.) Use XI as an escalation for certain events?
C.) Keep the Core and XI servers synced?

Each case may require a different approach, so I want to make sure we are on the same page.

We are using Core as a remote worker.

If that is the case, I would suggest moving to mod_gearman as a remote worker as opposed to Core. mod_gearman works like this:

Nagios (your main server) needs to run a check
It looks to see if the check to be run should be run on a remote worker
If so, it tells the remote worker to run the check, and return the results
The remote worker does so, and Nagios takes back over, creating local performance data files

In your current setup, the main XI machine has no knowledge of the remote machine until there is a passive result sent via NRDP. In the mod_gearman setup, your main XI machine is anticipating an active check result, so the performance data is created as if the XI server itself performed the check.

Take a look at this doc for more info, and let us know if you have any further questions:
