Nagios remote check on another Nagios.

[nvallas]

Hi everyone.
I have Nagios1 monitoring server on RedHat (x86) for various health checks and another one Nagios2 monitoring server on Debian (IBM Power).
My Nagios2 is the main monitoring system, so I want some how Nagios2 server get the status of the monitoring checks on Nagios1.
For example, Nagios1 monitors 15 checks on my TSM server. Due to network policies, Nagios2 can't check TSM server, so I want Nagios2 to get the status of the Nagios1 TSM server checks.

Is there a guide or step by step on how to implement this?

Thank you.

You could setup gearman to distribute your checks as one option, or another route would be to install NRPE and use that as an agent to report back to Nagios#.

Thanks for the information.

I'll try first gearman and see how it goes. NRPE seemed to me little complicated...

Thanks!

Let us know how it goes. From experience NRPE should be a lot easier than gearman to get used to.
