2 Nagios XI: Production and DR

[rjjimenez]

We have 2 datacenters: Production and Disaster recovery.

We want to mount two nagios. A nagios in production that check the two datacenters (production and disaster recovery) and another nagios in the datacenter of disaster recovery.
The second nagios would have two functions: Monitor if the production nagios is working and if the production nagios is broken start to function as primary.

Is this possible with just one license from nagios Enterprise?
How would you have to configure both nagios?

Hello @rjjimenez,

Is this possible with just one license from nagios Enterprise?

Yes. With every purchase we offer 3 separate activation of XI licenses. One for production, one for testing, and one for high availability.

How would you have to configure both nagios?

We have a guide on options for HA with Nagios XI. Please take a look at that and then let me know if you have anymore questions.
