Nagios XI and Distributed Deployments

Post by XenoPhage »

Greetings,

I'm getting set to make the jump to Nagios XI in the next month or so. Our current Nagios Core server is fairly overloaded and I'm hoping to move to a distributed model with Nagios XI. I could use some assistance identifying what the best distributed model is.

Ultimately, I'd like a model that allows for a single master server, pushing configurations to the slave systems. But, I'm concerned about potential outages if any of the servers fail. Is there a model that will survive a server failure, especially if the failed server is the master? Or is it, perhaps, better to have a distributed install with a small Nagios Core server elsewhere monitoring the Nagios XI servers?

Thanks!

Jason

We do have some documentation on common high availability options

As of know we don't have in place a way to manage or exit configs on a central and push them out to satellite servers.

We do have an option for viewing all of your remotes in one location, it is called Fusion. We have a preview of the 2012 features here
