Nagios Federation

Post by telee »

Hi Is it possible to configure a Nagios server to dump states to a file and have another Nagios server(on another network) ingest that file and display the updates on its website?

Nagios Fusion was created for just these purposes. You can have any combo/amount of Nagios Core or Nagios XI machines sending their data to Fusion, providing a centralized view.

Apart from fusion , this doc covers some other options:

I looked at the few bits of documentation listed on your site and i don't see where i can dump status to a file and transfer that file to another network to ingest it into another Nagios server.

Fusion is going to be the closest option to what you're looking for. As for your specific request, this isn't going to be possible.

One outside the box way of doing it that I can think of, would be to monitor your nagios.log file over a network mount, and create a script that processes all that data to either a. send as passive checks, or b. populate a variable and have your nagios checks just check the status in a local file.
