monitor a machine through a jump or

Post by jenstar13 »

Hi,
I tried searching on proxy, but I got 95 pages of results.

Can Nagios XI monitor a server on on another VPN though a proxy server?

thank you in advance

NCPA works by providing all telemetry via HTTP APIs. You could totally proxy those HTTP connections without too much trouble (I imagine), then configure your Nagios XI side NCPA configurations (via the check_ncpa plugin or NCPA Configuration Wizard) to hit that proxy instead.

But there's no generic way I know of to say "Please all plugins use this proxy/vpn" without doing some relatively complex things to your OS network interfaces (via iptables/firewalld). You'd handle this situation on a per host/service/command basis generally.
