Nagios XI for two datacenters

[myakubiv]

Hi, all!

We are using Nagios XI for Production monitoring, and we have some infrastructure change. We moved part of our infrastructure from AWS to another datacenter.
Is it possible to use Nagios XI to monitor infrastructure in two datacenters? Probably something like 'proxy' server in new datacenter, that will send data to Nagios XI in AWS.
Are there any best practices for our case?

Thank you in advance!
I would be really appreciate for any answer

In my personal experience, most people use one of these two options

• Mod-Gearman workers/servers feeding results into Nagios XI
• A distributed approach with multiple Core/XI instances on-site feeding into the primary AWS instance of Nagios XI via NRDP or NSCA.

All of those options tackle the monitoring problem without opening up every single piece of infrastructure to your AWS instance.

Nagios Fusion also exists as a very convenient single point of visibility and access to Core/XI instances if you take the distributed approach.

It's a non-trivial problem to solve and there's no one-size-fits-all solution for every organization.

Here's some more detailed information on that approach: https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... h-NRDP.pdf

If you're looking to setup a second XI server, I would highly suggest emailing [email protected], but you can definitely do this without a second XI server.
