How to verify and confirm checks running on Worker (and not locally)?
- just created new worker. Did not install any plugins (on purpose)
- configured nsclient/nrpe checks agaisnt the new host (host in local hosts group / services in the remote site group)
- all green and working 8-\ where they really should not

What did you set the hosts/services definitions to on the new worker? What did you set the hostgroups/servicegroups queues to on the new worker?

hosts=no
services=no

hostgroup=site_C_hosts (or something like that)
servicegroup=site_C_services

new host under monitoring resides in local on XI, while its service checks are added to site_C_services (with assumption that other sets of checks would be added to site_B_services, site_A_services, site_D_services and so on. Say copies of Web-portal checks with unique names done from different locations while being part of the same SLA).

hosts=no
services=no

hostgroup=site_C_hosts (or something like that)
servicegroup=site_C_services

On the worker, in /etc/mod_gearman2/worker.conf, these lines need to be:

Code: Select all

hostgroups=site_C_hosts
servicegroups=site_C_services

You are missing the s from hostgroups and servicegroups

Then on the XI server in /etc/mod_gearman2/module.conf, these lines need to exist:

Code: Select all

hostgroups=site_C_hosts
servicegroups=site_C_services

Thank you.

First one (worker.conf files) was my typo in forum, not on workers
forgot about module.conf on XI (Done) - must be XI-local worker taking care of these.

How to verify that service checks are indeed done by the remote worker?
- very important to verify, because this is the best way VS SLA reporting done by the same XI server

How to verify that service checks are indeed done by the remote worker?

On the XI server run this:

Code: Select all

gearman_top2

On the worker run this:

Code: Select all

service mod-gearman2-worker stop

At this point you should see the queues building up on the gearman_top2 output.

WORKS!
with 4 gearmans in very remote locations

THANK YOU!
